    unfortunately i own and have read this this book The Saratoga Race Course (NY): The August Place to Be. And they describe the history and that info.

    There were five Belmonts where only two horses were entered into the race. Most recently, this occurred in 1920.

    Sorry another Saratoga one. It's where I'm from. Outside of Saratoga Race Track they have a Jockey statue representing every Travers stakes winner. There is 1 more statue than there were Travers Stakes. Do you know why(without googling)? That might be too easy for you. I'll check in with some better ones after I see my parents this weekend, one of them works at the racetrack and I know they some cool stories about the history there that isn't published anywhere. Don't care about the bet, just want to find something you don't know!
