Belmont: Fisher Pond beat Irish Colonial by 41/2 lengths in the 109th Lawrence Realization at rainy Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y. Fisher Pond, ridden by John Velazquez, ran 11/2 miles on the sloppy track in 2:301/5. Extra Check was third.
The rain forced the $150,000 race from the turf course to the main track, robbing it of it's Grade III status and more than half its field, the result of six late scratches.
