NEW YORK, NY (WKBW) There will be no triple crown winner in horse racing this year, with the scratch of "I'll Have Another," but there was still a race to be run. More than eighty-five thousand people watched the horses, among them two favorites take to the track.

"Dullahan" and "Union Rags" were out of the gate fast, with "Paynter" leading the way for a majority of the race. Coming out of the final turn, there was a push by three horses, but in the end, it was "Union Rags" taking the race by just a nose.
