SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — FOX Sports analyst Terry Bradshaw was among the notable attendees at the 2025 Belmont Stakes held at Saratoga Race Course.
Terry Bradshaw’s Experience
Bradshaw was spotted walking around the track before Sovereignty won the race. The former NFL quarterback has been attending horse racing events since his childhood and is now sharing that experience with his grandkids.
"I’ve been going to races since I was a kid," Bradshaw said. "I’m now bringing my grandkids along for fun."
Jayson Werth’s Involvement in Horse Racing
Jayson Werth, co-owner of last year’s Belmont Stakes winner Dornoch, made an appearance on FOX Sports’ pre-race show ahead of Saturday’s event.
Werth shared how he got into horse racing after being introduced to it by a friend who owned horses. He eventually became involved in ownership himself and has seen success with Dornoch.
"I started out as an owner because I had a friend who owned horses," Werth said. "He took me to the track one day and I fell in love with it."
Werth also discussed his partnership with Dornoch’s trainer, Chad Brown.
"I met Chad Brown through mutual friends," Werth said. "We started talking about getting into ownership together."
Werth credited Brown for helping him learn more about horse racing and becoming successful as an owner.
"Chad taught me everything I know," Werth said. "He helped me understand what makes a good horse go fast or slow."
