SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. -- When Luis Saez first rode Dornoch at Saratoga Race Course last summer, he told trainer Danny Gargan, "You have the Derby winner."
That did not come true, but Dornoch made good on that optimism Saturday by winning the first Belmont Stakes at Saratoga, hugging the rail and holding off Mindframe to spring a major upset in the Triple Crown finale at odds of 17-1.
Co-owned by World Series champion Jayson Werth, Dornoch won the Belmont five weeks after a troubled trip led to a 10th-place finish in the Kentucky Derby.
