The 2009 Belmont Stakes Winner is Summer Bird
Jockey Kent Desormeaux, who finished second twice before at the Belmont Stakes, wins the 2009 Belmont Stakes riding Summer Bird. The other bird, Mine That Bird, hung back for most of the race and then made an early move – maybe a bit too early – to push for the lead but ended up taking third place and still in the money. Dunkirk finished in second place. Summer Bird, the 11/1 odds to win the 2009 Belmont Stakes, becomes the surprise winner of the Belmont Stakes and denies jockey Calvin Borel his own *Triple Crown.* 2009 Belmont Stakes Results OFFICIAL: 1st Place: 4th Post – Summer Bird 2nd Place: 2nd Post – Dunkirk 3rd Place: 7th Post – Mine That Bird 4th Place: 6th Post – Charitable Man 5th Place: 5th Post – Luv Gov 6th Place: 8th Post – Flying Private 7th Place: 10th Post – Brave Victory 8th Place: 3rd Post – Mr. Hot Stuff 9th Place: 1st Post – Chocolate Candy 10th Place: 9th Post – Miner’s Escap Get all your online horse racing odds at the Bodog Sportsbook!
