Since 1919, when Sir Barton was the first to sweep the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont, the "Test of the Champion" has crowned but 11 winners of racing's most prestigious, and elusive, prize. Amongst these giants includes Secretariat, Seattle Slew, and American Pharaoh. Learn more about Belmont's history, its luminaries, and unique contributions to the horse racing world.
