I believe the second, third, and fourth fastest Belmonts were run by Point Given, Risen Star, and Easy Goer, in what order I don't remember. Not that it means anything, but that trio won by 12, 15, and 8 lengths respectively. The fastest of this group, however would still have been 10 lengths behind Sec.
