Justify was the key player on a horse racing 'dream team' -- the best trainer of all time (confirmed Saturday) in Bob Baffert, a Hall of Fame jockey in Mike Smith who made all the right moves, and a thoroughbred whose name will rise above them all.

Justify won the 150th Belmont Stakes, becoming the 13th horse to win the Triple Crown, and just the second to win it as an undefeated horse.

Call To Mind, a horse bred and owned by Queen Elizabeth II, won the $400,000 Belmont Gold Cup Invitational by a length.

Trainer Bob Baffert says Justify had "another smooth, good day" on Friday in his final preparation for a Triple Crown bid at the Belmont Stakes.

Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Justify arrived in New York on Wednesday ahead of this weekend's Belmont Stakes, in which the colt will try to sweep the Triple Crown.
