Belmont Stakes 2023: National Treasure Horse Racing Profile
National Treasure captured a victory in the Preakness Stakes last month and returns to run the Belmont Stakes. His trainer Bob Baffert’s ban at Churchill Downs blocked the colt from attempting a Triple Crown run, but he will run this weekend nonetheless. The colt will run out of Post 4 and opened with short 5-1 odds, behind Forte, Tapit Trice, and Angel of Empire – all Derby favorites. Below, we’ll go over everything you need to know to bet this horse in the Belmont, including past performances and odds.
