Previewing The Belmont Stakes

The Belmont Stakes take place this Saturday in New York and features an eight-horse field. Here is a preview of the betting odds for the final leg of the Triple Crown.

The favorites are Essential Quality and The Preakness winner, Rombauer.

Essential Quality is trained by Brad Cox who said this horse is built for the 1.5-mile race because it has such good stamina.

Rombauer is coming off of a surprising win at The Preakness and will start right next to Essential Quality in the number three position.

This will be the smallest field at The Belmont since American Pharoah’s Triple Crown had seven horses competing.
