Sarava denies War Emblem Triple Crown Sarava, a 70-1 long shot, won yesterday`s 134th Belmont Stakes, denying War Emblem`s quest to become the 12th Triple Crown winner in racing history.After War Emblem added the Preakness Stakes to his Kentucky Derby victory, trainer Bob Baffert said the 1 1/2-mile Belmont would be a piece of cake. Sarava made him eat those words.Belmont Park drew a record crowd of 103,222 spectators to see War Emblem`s bid for history. Instead Sarava, trained by Ken McPeek and ridden by Edgar Prado, treated them to the sight of the longest-priced horse ever to win the race.It was the biggest upset in Belmont history, although McPeek said he wasn`t sure just how surprised he should be.'I`m still pinching myself,' he said. 'Who wouldn`t with a 70-1 winner? We just didn`t know how good he is. Nobody did.'
