Rags to Riches became the first filly to win the Belmont Stakes in 102 years when she won a thrilling stretch duel with Preakness champion Curlin to triumph by a head on Saturday. Rags to Riches, unbeaten in four races this year against fillies, proved herself against the colts as the 4-1 third pick in the $1 million race contested by a seven-horse field chasing the final jewel of this year's Triple Crown series. She overcame a stumble out of the gate and made her move at the top of the stretch, going four wide to charge to victory with John Velazquez aboard and claim the $600,000 top prize in a time of 2:28.74.
