In a stunning upset at the 140th running of the Belmont Stakes in Elmont, NY, 4-1 odd favorite and Triple Crown contender "Big Brown" was defeated by 38-1 odd "Da'Tara." The three-year old colt was attempting to become the first horse to win the Triple Crown since 1978 when "Affirmed" won the crown. In a shortened field of 9 horses, Big Brown became the first Triple Crown hopeful in history to finish in last place.
