Janey - Sketch

A sketch of Janey and her jockey, Louis LeClaire, on parade with the blanket of white carnations that grace the withers of every Belmont Stakes winner.  In the background is a lineup of each of the previous Triple Crown winners and their stable colors, which are put on display every time a horse wins the first two legs of the Triple Crown and competes for the third jewel.

Fun fact: The very first Belmont Stakes was won by a filly.  However, after the length of the race was changed from 10 to 12 furlongs (1 1/4 miles to 1 1/2 miles), no filly was able to win it until Rags to Riches, a granddaughter of Seattle Slew, did it in 2007, defying over a century of Belmont history.
