Pleasant Colony, making his patented move to the outside on the far turn, looked to be in fine shape to pass leaders Summing and Paristo as the field headed around the turn for home. . However, the John Campo-trained colt did not follow the script he wrote in his previous victories in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. Highland Blade placed second and Pleasant Colony nabbed third. Eleven times between 1890-1908 the Belmont preceded the Preakness and once the two races were run the same day. Since then, 10 horses have won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness but failed in the Belmont. They are: 1944-Pensive, 1958-Carry Back, 1961-Northern Dancer, 1966-Kauai King, 1968-Forward Pass, 1969-Majestic 1969-Majestic Prince, 1971-Canoero 1971-Canoero II, 1979" Spectacular Bid and 1981-Pleasant 1981-Pleasant Colony. Nolan Ryan of the Houston Astros struck out ten batters and allowed only five hits in a 5-0 shutout over the New York Mets Friday. The win improved Ryan s record to 5-3. |
