Three-year-old Rags to Riches, a filly who had never raced against colts, beat favorite Curlin by at least a nose. In the end, she simply had more gas in her tank.
The haughty chestnut with the off-center blaze, known for her arrogant antics in the barn, let the big boys in the race see a lot of her butt as she made history. She was the first filly in 105 years to win the mile-and-a-half Belmont, the longest of the Triple Crown Races.
Bred to run long distances, the new thoroughbred queen follows in the hoofprints of her father and half-brother, both of whom won the Belmont.
The best news of all: NOBODY was injured in the Belmont Stakes.
