FILE - In this June 9, 1979, file photo, Coastal and jockey Ruben Hernandez, second from right, make the move to pass Spectacular Bid (5) and jockey Ron Franklin on the final turn during the Belmont Stakes horse race at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y. Spectacular Bid stepped on a safety pin in his stall the morning of the race and would later fade in the stretch under Franklin to finish in third. As I'll Have Another prepares to attempt to win the Belmont Stakes in his quest to become the 12th Triple Crown champion and first in 34 years on Saturday, June 9, 2012, The Associated Press takes a look at some of the 19 horses who won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, but came up short in the final leg of the Triple Crown, and how the race unfolded.
