Bolsheviks Storm Belmont
This could only have been more amusing if it had happened on October 24: Leningrad and Stalingrad finished one-two in the fifth at Belmont on Wednesday in what announcer Tom Durkin called a “Russian geography” exacta. (Never mind that Leningrad is once again Saint Petersburg and Stalingrad now Volgograd.) Leningrad paid $35.60 to win, the exacta paid $134 (chart).
10/19 Addendum: Russian Sage, Mushka … the Russian theme continues at Belmont (LATG).
