Middleground wins Belmont Stakes
Middleground (1947–1972) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse. Ridden by 16-year-old apprentice jockey Bill Boland, and trained by Max Hirsch, both future U.S. Hall of Fame inductees, Middleground won the 1950 Kentucky Derby, finished second to Hill Prince after a rough trip in the Preakness Stakes, and won the Belmont Stakes. Middleground died in 1972, and the gravesite is on the King Ranch, in Kingsville, Texas.
