ELMONT, N.Y. – Trainer Steve Asmussen put an early exclamation point on the year that will mark his Hall of Fame induction when Creator staged a dramatic rally to overtake Destin by a nose in the 148th Belmont Stakes on Saturday at Belmont Park.
“It will look good on the plaque,” exulted Asmussen, referring to his induction into the National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame at Saratoga Springs, N.Y., in August.
