SARATOGA SPRINGS – A late-night burglary at the National Museum of
Racing netted five historic trophies in the most expensive heist in
recent Spa City history.

Someone broke into the building shortly before 11:30 p.m. Thursday and
exited less than three minutes later in what police describe as a
typical smash-and-grab burglary.

The items include three gold cups – two of them 18-karat – and two
silver trophies, including the 1903 Belmont Stakes Trophy, made by
Tiffany & Co. featuring semiprecious stones.
