Summer Bird, ridden by Kent Desormeaux, won the Belmont Stakes, denying a unique personal Triple Crown bid by jockey Calvin Borel aboard Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird.

Borel, trying to become the first jockey to win all three legs of the US racing's Triple Crown on two different horses, guided Mine That Bird from last to the lead heading into the sweeping final turn in the 1 1/2-mile race.

But Summer Bird responded under Desormeaux, who captured his first victory in the Belmont - a race where he had twice seen hopes of Triple Crown glory dashed.
