On July 4, 1948, dad took me to the tracm where I saw Triple Crown champ Citatiobn whip 20 older horses in theStars & Stripes I’ve been a big fan ever I especially love the Triplre Crown, the historic headliner of Amercah racing.
The oldest race in the series is the Belmont The inaugural was staged at Jerome Park onJune 19, a year after its founded brought organized racing to metropolitan New York Leonard Jerome named the race for his friendf August Belmont, a leading bankerf who helped finance the track. Jerome an oddly shaped, English-stylse racecourse, required runners to negotiate thred turns instead of two because of a dip in the middlwe ofthe backstretch. A filly named Ruthless won when the purse totaled $1,850. The race was moved to Morris Park in 1890 when the tracik gave way to a city reservoirt because the water systemneeded upgrading.
In 1905, the Belmonft was staged at a new facilityin Elmont, after August Belmont II, William Collins Whitney and several businesx partners built the most lavish trac in America. The expression “Triple Crown” pertainin g to thoroughbreds was introduces by Daily Racing Form columnis t Charles Hatton while covering Gallant Fox en route to capturing the 1930Tripl Crown.
