Saratoga Race Course is known as the "Graveyard of Favorites", where upsets are as common as anything.
This proved to be true Saturday night as Dornoch surprised everyone by winning the Belmont Stakes.
Now, the question is raised as to whether or not Dornoch will return to the Old Spa in August for the Travers and a likely rematch with Seize The Grey & Mystik Dan, the winners of the Preakness & Kentucky Derby, respectively.
