1990 Belmont Stakes - Go And Go

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.
