Justify's Triple Crown victory Saturday was worth an additional $15 million, sources told ESPN, pushing the value of the horse's breeding rights to a record $75 million.

Just three years removed from the most recent Triple Crown, the 90,000 who showed up to cheer Justify were not turning their noses up at a chance to witness history.

Justify was the key player on a horse racing 'dream team' -- the best trainer of all time (confirmed Saturday) in Bob Baffert, a Hall of Fame jockey in Mike Smith who made all the right moves, and a thoroughbred whose name will rise above them all.

Justify won the 150th Belmont Stakes, becoming the 13th horse to win the Triple Crown, and just the second to win it as an undefeated horse.
