Thunder Gulch Wins Belmont With Star Standard Tiring
Thunder Gulch edged Star Standard by two lengths to claim the Belmont at Belmont Park. Jockey Gary Stevens rode Thunder Gulch while Julie Krone, racing Colonial Affair in 1998, became the only woman jockey to win a Triple Crown race. Star Standard faltered in the turn as Thunder Gulch mounted a late charge. Trainer Nick Zito extended a pattern of near-misses, finishing second in four of the last five Belmonts.
