This is the 1963 Belmont Stakes, run at Aqueduct for the first time that year (Belmont's Stands were being rebuilt), and won by Chateaugay. The video includes the full race start to finish, called by the great Fred Caposella, and the full post parade and winners circle presentations. Enjoy!

  • Thank you.

    My hat is off to all of you who post these gems from yesteryear. These are races I've read about and heard about for years -- no, for decades -- and it's a pleasure to finally get to see them!

  • Thankyoum I'm glad you enjot them, I myself love old racing footage, and am glad to share it with all of the racing fans out there on youtube.

  • This is wonderful footage of Chateaugay -the great son of the champion Swaps ! He sure gave his best and ran an excellent race here :) Fun to watch ! Thank you for taking the time to post this race for us :) I can't wait to watch the Belmont this year !

  • Your welcome, Glad you enjoyed it! I love these old films. This is from a series that also includes the '63 CCA Oaks, '64 Belmont, which I just posted, and the '64Whitney, Alabama, Travers, and Hopeful, from the Spa, which I will be posting in the future.

  • Thank you for this post. In 2005 Braulio Baeza said this of Chateaugay "He is dear to me because he was my one Kentucky Derby winner. I will never forget that race. I still get excited when I remember it. Everything worked out perfect."

  • The Belmont was the 7th race on the card that year. In 2010 it was the 11th.

  • so great to see Braulio Baeza
