Justify led all the way in New York's Belmont Stakes winning by 1 3/4 lengths to gain immortality as horse racing's 13th Triple Crown winner.

There was some show of competition from the other horses. Vino Rosso made a move to get within a length of Justify but never improved. Justify pulled away from the pack for good down the stretch in front of a packed grandstand of screaming fans.

The chestnut colt is the second horse to sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont, improving to 6-0 in a racing career that began on Feb. 18. Seattle Slew was unbeaten when he won the Triple Crown in 1977.

At the age of 52, Smith, a devout Christian, is the oldest jockey to win the Triple Crown.

He told CBN News last month how he prepares for a big race—with training strategy and prayer.

Smith garnered extra attention after the Derby in May when he thanked Jesus during his first interview after crossing the finish line.

Smith told reporters, "I just want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for blessing us on this afternoon and blessing us with this amazing horse."

"I just couldn't keep it inside of me," Smith told CBN News. "I truly give God all the glory and I had to say it. Without Him, I wouldn't have all the success I do." Smith said that when he's mounted on his horse, he follows God just as he normally would.

"I believe there's just a flow that guides me and when I follow it, amazing things happen," he said. "And that's with everyday life too. When God's leading you, you follow it."

Smith's riding career began in 1982. He says he's ridden plenty of amazing horses but that there is just something special about Justify.

"He's sent from Heaven," Smith said. "He's just got this 'it' factor. Everything he does is exceptional. He's got a brilliant mind, and for a powerful racehorse like him who has a mind of his own, he's still just eager to please. Even just looking at him, he's this massive beautiful horse."

Bob Baffert became only the second trainer in history to win the Triple Crown twice. He did it with American Pharaoh in 2015.
