We’ve finally made it to the last leg of the 2023 Triple Crown: The Belmont Stakes.
While horse racing’s highest achievement will go unclaimed this year, the field for the 12th race at Belmont Park on Saturday is unquestionably the strongest of any of the three marquee races this year.
Forte — the Kentucky Derby-favorite until he was scratched the day before the race — is once again in the field and favored. Preakness Stakes champion National Treasure, a Bob Baffert product, is also in the field. As are familiar three-year-old contenders Angel of Empire, Tapit Trice and Red Route One.
Here’s a look at where their odds stand on Saturday morning. Post time is set for 7:02 p.m. ET on Fox.
