WEB Arcangelo 7-1 Triumphs in 2023 Belmont Stakes
Arcangelo Steals Victory in Thrilling Belmont Stakes Upset
Arcangelo 7-1 Upsets Preakness Stakes Winner National
In a remarkable upset, WEB Arcangelo has emerged victorious in the prestigious 2023 Belmont Stakes, dethroning Preakness Stakes winner National. Despite starting as a 7-1 underdog, Arcangelo surged through on the rail, overtaking National in a breathtaking display of speed and stamina.
National's Reign Cut Short
National, who had triumphed in the Preakness Stakes just three weeks prior, entered the Belmont Stakes as the heavy favorite. However, his bid for the Triple Crown was shattered by Arcangelo's relentless charge. As Arcangelo surged past National, the crowd erupted in a thunderous roar.
Secretariat's Record Remains Intact
While Arcangelo's victory was a major upset, it also served as a reminder of Secretariat's legendary Belmont Stakes record, which has stood for 50 years. The legendary horse's record-breaking 31-length victory in 1973 remains unmatched, and experts believe that even today's winning horse would have been unable to beat Secretariat at the height of his powers.
A Storied History in the Making
The Belmont Stakes is the final leg of the Triple Crown, a series of three prestigious races that test the limits of thoroughbred horses. With his victory, Arcangelo has etched his name into the annals of racing history. His triumph is a testament to the unpredictable nature of the sport and the relentless pursuit of excellence that drives both horses and jockeys.
