It's Belmont Stakes Day. The third leg of the Triple Crown will be run this evening on Long Island, and the nation will be watching to see if thoroughbred Justify will become the second horse in three years to win the Triple Crown after a 37-year drought.

In celebration of the race, the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs has a new exhibit to honor the 150th running of the Belmont Stakes. WAMC’s Southern Adirondack Bureau Chief Lucas Willard joined museum curator Victoria Reisman on a tour of the new exhibit called Test of a Champion, which opens today.
