I worked as an exercise rider for Bob Baffert and know Jockey Mike Smith. Two super cool guys. Always kind.

I was there and I can't sleep either so exciting I got to witness my second Triple Crown in 3 years!

HE CHEATED TO GET Justify in. How did he pull off the cheat? The owner of Justify is the brother of the owner of the NY Giants. Try that in MD and they will find you floating in the Chesapeake

what a awesome moment,congrats justify n crew

Elliot Walden trained Victory Gallop against Bob Baffert’s Real Quiet. Victory Gallop spoiled Real Quiet’s Triple Crown bid in the 1998 Belmont Stakes by a nose. For Baffert to team with Walden and win a Triple Crown for him takes a ton of class. That’s why Bob is a legend.

THE JACK HQ True! And that loss came just a year after Silver Charm, a huge favorite of Baffert’s, lost the Belmont and TC by 1/2 a length. Ouch!

Justify the justifiable triple crown winner. God bless all of you

That's the most beautiful horse ive ever seen, he strides beautifully too, that's a double whammy, astute and beautiful and also a Champion.

WOW, to be able to say you trained "TWO" Triple Crown Champions! Yeah, that's very impressive!

We've waited 37 years for another Triple Crown and now three years later we have another. American Pharoah's Triple Crown in 2015 was the first one I got to see because I wasn't born until 1984.

Enjoyed the Belmont Most.

Baffert's a great trainer. He deserved this. Justify reminds of Secretariat in some ways. Big beautiful & scopey. He easily won all three races. Challenged a bit in the Preakness only & two muddy tracks with fog at one no less. It's hard to lose but, u pay ur money & take ur chances. That's horses & unsportsmanlike to bemoan a loss to a team with a better horse. Just sour grapes. Anything can happen in a horse race. After watching the race multiple times no evidence of illegal activity is evident. Even the race commentators mention that fact with regard to blocking. Baffert's other trainee just couldn't keep up with Justify once he shook loose. Neither could any of the other horses. That's horse racing.

Once upon a time in a land far away there was a big horse named Secretariat...

Justify reminds me a lot of the great Seattle Slew. Both of these horses were early front runners and liked to take the early lead and could hold on to it. Justify is a great horse, and ran this race in 2:28---Slew in 2:29. I think Slew could have done it in 2:25 or 2:26 --"if pushed hard." That Bob Baffert seems like a great down to earth guy, as well as Mike Smith, and that Baffert seems to have a way with "producing winners." The guy reminds me of a genius in this field--like some NFL coaches are in their profession. Seems the same guy's always is producing the winners. I give Baffert "big credit." When you put it in perspective--and realize that Secretariat ran the Belmont in just 2:24. it does make this race not that significant in respect to the other fast horses that have ran it. Example--Affirmed, AP Indy ( Slew's son), and Easy Goer all ran the Belmont in 2:26-- but no horse ( except Secretariat) had beaten this 2:26 time. Let's remember 2:26 is very fast--only 2 seconds off Secretariat's long standing record of 2:24. I think Seattle Slew, Affirmed, and a couple others could have beaten Secretariat in the "short races"--like the Kentucky Derby, or the Preakness, or came very close, but no other horse would have touched Secretariat in the Belmont.

Baffert gave a nice shout out to his assistant trainer Jimmy Barnes after the Belmont win. Barnes has been with Justify 24/7 after he shipped.

Why do people try & compare any Triple Crown winners with Big Red in 73 ? I've been into horse racing for 40yrs ive not seen a horse come close to Secretariate over a mile & half apart from Dancing Brave in 85/86 & don't think we'll get another like him. American Pharoah, Justify or even the well loved Zenyatta who was an absolute beauty & she was a big girl BUT nothing beats BIG RED in my opinion.

I think AP would have had Justify in the Belmont but in the derby, Justify would have edged out AP. To run such a brutal half mile in the derby in the slop and still go on to pull away was incredible. But super excited for the "Kentucky Derby" they're putting together next Saturday, a race simulator between all Triple Crown champions!

Bob wanted to say Justify

Seattle Slew bloodline..the GOAT Him and Slew related also the only two horses to win the triple crown being undefeated in 118 years

Did you people not get a good look at the last quarter of the race the other jockeys stopped using their whips and if you know any thing about a horse when is running hard it's ears are pinned back these horses ears are forward didn't look like any one was trying to win

Not to take away from all this but some are saying Baffert used another one of his horses to block out the other horses. But they are saying this is not for lack of a better word illegal. Oppps...I see they just talked about that. Oh well. hahahaha

Before making a comment like this, at least have some knowledge of what you are talking about. First, sending another horse as a 'rabbit' is perfectly legal & is done in horse racing.

I'm afraid you're mistaken--the greedy thing would be to retire him early and cash in on the stud fees. It's expensive to keep a horse in training and purse money is peanuts compared to the stud fees Justify could earn. The horse won the hardest achievement in sports and he did it easily. No Triple Crown winner retired immediately after winning the Belmont. So let him run. Let the fans enjoy him.
