Mo Donegal Wins 2022 Belmont Stakes
Mo Donegal won the 154th running of the Belmont Stakes, the third and final leg of the Triple Crown for thoroughbred racing.
Todd Pletcher’s Mo Donegal had 5-2 odds to win heading into the race.
We The People, a newcomer to the Triple Crown trail, entered Saturday’s race with the best odds, 2–1, to win the race while Mo Denegal’s 5–2 and Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike’s 7-2 odds were second and third best ahead of the race.
The 2022 Triple Crown season has featured surprising upsets and iconic finishes. This season, however, will not feature a Triple Crown champion. Justify was the last horse to do so, in 2018.
