“C” is the most popular first initial for winning Belmont runners. "C" horss have taken 20 runnings of the race. There have only been four Belmont Stakes winners whose first initial is "M"... There has never been a walkover in the Belmont. There have been five two-horses fields: 1887, 1888, 1892, 1910 and when Man o’ War won in 1920. The largest field was 15 in 1983, when Caveat defeated Slew o’ Gold... MINE THAT BIRD is trying to become the first horse since Thunder Gulch in 1995 to win the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes... The Belmont Stakes trophy is a solid silver bowl and cover made by Tiffany & Co. It is 18 inches tall, 15 inches across and 14 inches at the base. Atop the cover is a silver figure of 1869 Belmont winner Fenian. It was the trophy August Belmont received when Fenian won the third running and it had since remained with the Belmont family. The winning owner may keep the trophy for a year until the next Belmont winner is crowned.
