Horses 9, 1 And 1 Finish First On 9/11

The Belmont Park racetrack in New York state said the first three winners on the 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks bore the numbers 9, 1 and 1. The Elmont track, which served as a staging area for workers and emergency vehicles in the days following the attacks, said horses bearing the numbers were the first three winners Sunday. “The odds were probably about a million to one,” said David Jacobson, the trainer at Drawing Away Stable, which owns the first two winners from Sunday. The pick-three result paid $18.60 for a $2 bet, the racetrack said.
