Commendable, 2000, 19-1 odds. Commendable entered the 2000 Belmont with no 3-year-old wins and coming off a miserable 17th-place finish in the Kentucky Derby. Held out of the Preakness, he surprised many with his 1 1/2-length Belmont win, leading most of the way and holding onto a lead over Derby runner-up Aptitude. The Belmont would be his final career victory.
