Justify became the 13th horse to win the Triple Crown after winning the 150th Belmont Stakes.
Justify, trained by Bob Baffert and ridden by Mike Smith, joined fellow Baffert trainee American Pharoah as the only horses to accomplish the honor since Affirmed in 1977.
After struggling at times in a win at the Preakness Stakes, Justify led the Belmont from wire to wire and never appeared tired. Justify became only the second undefeated Triple Crown winner.
