At Belmont, it's Victory Gallop, by a whisker
"Tiring badly, Real Quiet drifted out, in front of Victory Gallop, causing him to hesitate before he came
on again with Stevens still whipping righthanded. Victory Gallop shaved the lead to half a length and then
a neck. Real Quiet drifted out again and bumped him, but Stevens kept his mount charging. He was now
a head away. The rafters were rattling as the two colts, nose and nose, heads bobbing, swept under the
wire as one. ... The whole place went limp. It was too close to call. The photo-finish sign lit up."
—William Nack, Sports Illustrated, June 15, 1998
