Spectacular Bid suffers Belmont stumble from safety pin incident
Spectacular Bid stepped on a safety pin in his Belmont Park stall, leaving him lame hours before the Belmont Stakes. Trainer Bud Delp said the pin lodged in the left front foot after a groom removed bandages, contributing to a fading stretch run in the 111th Belmont Stakes. The favorite finished third behind Perry's Coastal in a 12 furlong race before a crowd of 59,073.
