Belmont Stakes Post Positions and Odds Released
Horses Set to Vie for Triple Crown Glory
Draw Determines Starting Order for June 10 Race
The post positions and odds for the 155th running of the Belmont Stakes have been released, setting the stage for the final leg of the Triple Crown. With a purse of $1.5 million, the race will take place on June 10 at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York.
The Kentucky Derby winner, Rich Strike, has drawn the 20th post position and is the morning-line favorite at 5-2. Epicenter, the Preakness Stakes winner, is in the 8th post position and is listed as the second choice at 3-1. Other contenders include We the People (post 5, 9-2), Creative Minister (post 11, 12-1), and Nest (post 15, 12-1).
The draw is crucial in the Belmont Stakes, as the long distance (1 1/2 miles) and wide track require horses to conserve energy and find a favorable position. Post positions near the rail are often preferred, but horses can also make their move from the outside.
With the Belmont Stakes just around the corner, the anticipation is building for a thrilling race that could crown a new Triple Crown winner. Rich Strike has the opportunity to make history, while Epicenter and the other contenders will be determined to prevent him from achieving the prestigious feat.
