— Triple Crown veteran Todd Pletcher had simple advice Saturday for jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. before the Belmont Stakes.Sometimes, less is Mo.
Mo Donegal beat a wide-open, eight-horse field without a clear favorite — We the People, a monster in the mud, opened at 2 to 1 amid a rainy forecast but reached 7 to 2 by race time as showers held off. Reed said the team encouraged jockey Sonny Leon to try pushing Rich Strike from the outside, but the horse kept trying to get back inside — where he made a late charge past 19 horse to win at Churchill Downs.Just like Rich Strike, Mo Donegal was at the back of the pack at the Derby, but the colt didn't have enough kick at Churchill Downs. He found it Saturday, winning the 154th running of the $1.5 million race.
"It's great to be back at full capacity. It's a real economic driver. People are using our restaurants, which are world-class, our shopping, staying in our hotels. It's really great for Nassau County and the whole region," Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman told CBS2's Natalie Duddridge.
