It was the 12th Belmont Stakes held at Morris Park Racecourse in Morris Park, New York and was run on May 23, 1901. The race drew three starters and was won by the heavily favored Commando whose winning time of 2:21 flat set a new record for the Belmont Stakes at the 1 3 8 miles distance on dirt. Bred and raced by James R. Keene, Commando easily won the race by a half length over the 1901 Preakness Stakes winner The Parader. Third place went to All Green who was never in the race from the start and wisely was not pushed by jockey Willie Shaw, finishing a further fifty lengths back. https://www.nytimes.com/1901/05/24/archives/commandos-great-rage-keenes-splendid-colt-won-belmont-stakes-in.html New York Times, page 7 New York Times, page 7 1901-05-24 2021-06-05 For future U.S. Racing Hall of Fame trainer James G.
