“Justify leads wire to wire at Belmont” 2015 - American Pharoah 1978 - Affirmed 1977 - Seattle Slew 1973 - Secretariat 1948 - Citation 1946 - Assault 1943 - Count Fleet 1941 - Whirlaway 1937 - War Admiral 1935 - Omaha 1930 - Gallant Fox 1919 - Sir Barton New York - Justify charged out of the gate and never gave up the lead on Saturday, powering his way to victory at the Belmont Stakes to become just the 13th horse to win the Triple Crown. Second place finisher, Gronkowski, was more than 1 3/4 lengths back. This year’s Belmont Stakes was the largest field ever beaten by a Triple Crown winner. With the win, Justify improved to 6-0 in a career that began in February, making him the first Triple Crown winner not to race as a 2-year-old. Jockey Mike Smith, at 52, is the oldest jockey to win the Triple Crown. Smith let him use his strength to run away from the field. The Belmont Stakes is the longest and most grueling of the three-race series (The Kentucky Derby, The Preakness and The Belmont Stakes). Justify had won all six races he had run this year, but had never raced previously. Only Seattle Slew in 1977 was also undefeated when he won the Triple Crown.

The Schuylkill Expressway eastbound is closed between I-476 and Belmont Avenue/Green Lane. With the closure reaching hour seven, crews worked to pump the water off of I-76. Wawa is about to add items to its secret menu this week, but what they are is still, well, a secret. Wawa has told 6abc.com that beginning Monday there will be "some new items.” Although they could not reveal what those items will be, they did send over a photo and a short video clip. The photo shows a bagel made with multiple colors - like a rainbow. The video clip features a Wawa specialty drink, available in multiple flavors. In order to access the secret menu, customers had to go to the ordering kiosk, click the Wawa goose at the bottom left of the screen, and the vault to the secret menu would open. It is not yet known if those same directions will work this time around. Wawa would only say, "We think everyone will really love what's coming next.".
