- Go and Go, an Irish colt who was flown to New York from Dublin on Wednesday, thrashed what was left of the American Triple Crown crop when he scored an 8 1/4-length victory over Thirty Six Red yesterday to win the 122d Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park.
Baron de Vaux, a 65-1 shot, was two lengths back in third, and Unbridled, the 6-5 favorite, was 2 1/2 more lengths back. Unbridled was racing without the aid of the drug Lasix, which he used while winning the Kentucky Derby on May 5 and finishing second in the Preakness Stakes on May 19.
Go and Go, a chestnut-colored colt by the Northern Dancer stallion Be My Guest and the Alleged mare Irish Edition, became the eighth foreign-bred horse to win the Belmont and the first since Celtic Ash in 1960.
