Three of those attempts have been by American Pharoah&#8217;s Hall of Fame trainer, Bob Baffert, who won the first two legs in 1997 with Silver Charm; 1998 with Real Quiet and 2002 with War Emblem. Two previous attempts were also made by jockey Victor Espinoza, who rode California Chrome to a fourth-place finish in 2014, and was also aboard War Emblem.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.belmontstakes.com\/history\/sirbarton.aspx\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.belmontstakes.com\/UserFiles\/image\/history\/sir-barton-silks-new.png\" alt=\"Sir Barton\" width=\"136\" height=\"217\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.belmontstakes.com\/history\/gallantfox.aspx\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.belmontstakes.com\/UserFiles\/image\/history\/gallant-fox-silks-new.png\" alt=\"Gallant Fox\" width=\"136\" height=\"217\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.belmontstakes.com\/history\/omaha.aspx\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.belmontstakes.com\/UserFiles\/image\/history\/omaha-silks-new.png\" alt=\"Omaha\" width=\"136\" height=\"217\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.belmontstakes.com\/history\/waradmiral.aspx\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.belmontstakes.com\/UserFiles\/image\/history\/war-admiral-silks-new.png\" alt=\"War Admiral\" width=\"136\" height=\"217\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.belmontstakes.com\/history\/whirlaway.aspx\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.belmontstakes.com\/UserFiles\/image\/history\/whirlaway-silks-new.png\" alt=\"Whirlaway\" width=\"136\" height=\"217\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.belmontstakes.com\/history\/countfleet.aspx\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.belmontstakes.com\/UserFiles\/image\/history\/count-fleet-silks-new.png\" alt=\"Count Fleet\" width=\"136\" height=\"217\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.belmontstakes.com\/history\/assault.aspx\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.belmontstakes.com\/UserFiles\/image\/history\/assault-silks-new.png\" alt=\"Assault\" width=\"136\" height=\"217\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.belmontstakes.com\/history\/citation.aspx\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.belmontstakes.com\/UserFiles\/image\/history\/ciation-silks-new.png\" alt=\"Citation\" width=\"136\" height=\"217\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.belmontstakes.com\/history\/secretariat.aspx\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.belmontstakes.com\/UserFiles\/image\/history\/secretariat-silks-new.png\" alt=\"Secretariat\" width=\"136\" height=\"217\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.belmontstakes.com\/history\/seattleslew.aspx\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.belmontstakes.com\/UserFiles\/image\/history\/seattle-slew-silks-new.png\" alt=\"Seattle Slew\" width=\"136\" height=\"217\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.belmontstakes.com\/history\/affirmed.aspx\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.belmontstakes.com\/UserFiles\/image\/history\/affirmed-silks-new.png\" alt=\"Affirmed\" width=\"136\" height=\"217\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>The details;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>WHEN:\u00a0<\/strong>Saturday, June 6, 2015: Post time for Belmont Stakes: 6:50 p.m. ET<br \/>\n<strong>WHERE:\u00a0<\/strong>Belmont Park &#8211;
