The 2023 Belmont Stakes will feature nine horses with the chance to put their names in the history books. These are their post positions, odds and more.
The 155th running of the Belmont Stakes is almost here!
The final leg of the Triple Crown takes place in Elmont, New York at Belmont Park, the same venue as the last 112 runnings with its 1 1/2 mile dirt track. It'll go down on Saturday, June 10 at 6:50 p.m. ET on FOX.
This year, there won't be a Triple Crown contender in the field. Mage, who took the Kentucky Derby, only finished third in the Preakness and won't be running the Belmont.
Preakness winner, National Treasure, will be racing at the Belmont, but the bay colt didn't run the Kentucky Derby.
National Treasure is one of the favorites for Saturday's race, but they'll have to beat out Forte, Tapit Trice, Angel of Empire and other hopefuls.
Here are the horses running the Belmont Stakes…
