“While racing and sports fans everywhere were obviously disappointed that the injury to I’ll Have Another prevented an historic attempt for the elusive Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes and the Triple Crown are still iconic events as evidenced by the record Belmont crowd for a non-Triple Crown edition of the race,” said Equibase’s manager of eBusiness operations and development, Chris Dawahare. “Nearly 200,000 fans visit equibase.com on a daily basis but that number obviously increases dramatically at this time of the year as fans come for easy access to a wide variety of pre- and post-race information on the Triple Crown races.”

This year’s total includes single-day records of 615,561and 515,338, respectively, for the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes when I’ll Have Another bested Bodemeister in thrilling renditions of those classics. Despite I’ll Have Another’s retirement, equibase.com hosted a record 535,631 visitors for the Belmont, in which Union Rags scored a dramatic win over Paynter.
