Tacitus had 9-5 morning-line odds to win, but Sir Winston was ultimately the best horse on the track.

Preakness winner War of Will was attempting to become the sixth horse since 1978 to win both the Belmont and the Preakness after failing to win the Kentucky Derby, but he ultimately finished in ninth.

So concludes the Triple Crown season as it started with controversy in Kentucky and ended with an upset at the Belmont Stakes.

We'll see if a horse can win a Triple Crown next season.
