Assault Captures Belmont Stakes in Dramatic Comeback
Assault defied the late surge to win the Belmont Stakes by three lengths over Natchez at Belmont Park before 43,599 fans. The Texas-based colt—quoting Derby and Preakness winner Bold Venture as a predecessor—ran from the back to surge past rivals in the final stretch, with Natchez, Cable, and William Du Pont’s Hampden close behind. Lord Boswell faded to fifth in a troubled performance.
