We already knew that there would be no Triple Crown winner in horse races this year. But there will still be drama at Belmont Stakes.
The Saturday’s race will set off the long -awaited revenge match between the sovereignty of the winner of Kentucky Derby and the journalism of the Preakness winner. Sovereignty did not work in the Preakness after finishing 1 1/2 length in front of journalism in the first stage of the triple crown.
Journalism, which drew post office No. 7 for the Belmont, was the morning favorite at 8-5, followed closely by the sovereignty at 2-1 of post No. 2.
The 157th Belmont Stakes take place in Saratoga in New York State for a second consecutive year while Belmont Park is being reconstruction. La Poste time for the main event on Saturday is at 7:04 p.m. HE.
Here are the chances, coaches and morning jockeys for the last stage of the triple crown.
