Summer Bird won 2009 Belmont Stakes and Calvin Borel missed his last win in Triple Crown. Calvin Borel was going for the jockey Triple Crown, after dropping his 2009 Derby winner Mine That Bird in order to ride his 2009 Kentucky Oaks winner Rachel Alexandra in the 2009 Preakness. It was a smart call, since the filly went on to win the race. Borel returned to Mine That Bird after the owners of Rachel Alexandra decided not to race her in the 2009 Belmont Stakes. The 2009 Belmont was Calvin Borel’s only mount of the day which turned out to be a bad decision just like jockey Kent Desormeaux said it would be before the Belmont Stakes, how ironic that this was pointed out by the eventual Belmont Stakes winner. Borel has never won the Belmont.
The win by legendry jockey Kent Desormeaux was his first in the Belmont Stakes. Kent Desormeaux was hot today winning three consecutive races on the under-card.
