The Triple Crown has come to a close with a striking finish. The Belmont Stakes has its winner, and it's a horse no one was expecting. Dornoch ended up winning the race, and while many are happy, many are also frustrated.

One wrote, "So Dornoch, in winning the Belmont Stakes, defeated the Ky Derby winner and the Preakness winner and Sierra Leone, who should have won more than he has. All three legs of the Triple Crown have been won by longshots. What a year. But fun."
Another complained about Sierra Leone's performance. They felt that the horse should have easily won. They wrote, "Sierra Leone is going down as one of the most frustrating horses out there - if he could run straight he'd be the winner of the Kentucky Derby and @BelmontStakes. As it is...he's just annoying! Still, means @coolmorestud can run City of Troy against him! Yeeehaaa."
Meanwhile, one viewer called out a jockey. They wrote, "Desperate 'ride' from Irad Ortiz on the second...(my tip...)...frantically, uses the whip in the left hand in the straight, which caused the horse to become unbalanced and cost him the race, instead of trying to duel alongside with the eventual winner, poor stuff."
Yet another complained about the channel, writing, "Fox had another chance to fix their audio issues from last year yet somehow they did worse. In addition to background noise drowning out the announcer their feed was glitchy most of the time unless that was just."
Incredible! ?
