Belmont Stakes field

Bettors flipping the calendar now stare at June’s biggest landmark, the $1.5 million Belmont Stakes on June 8 at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York. This year's event is taking place in Upstate New York as a result of construction taking place at Belmont Park. The Belmont Stakes field for 2024 was initially set at nine horses.

The date sneaks up on many fans because there will be no Triple Crown winner this year. Victories by Mystik Dan in the Kentucky Derby and Seize the Grey in the Preakness Stakes ensure that the Triple Crown will remain not swept since Justify did the trick in 2018.

With or without a Triple Crown at stake, however, the Belmont is a major destination in thoroughbred racing. As the race approaches, handicappers ponder the probables list entering the final week.

The draw took place earlier this week and here is the field based on favorites to longshots.

How big is the Belmont Stakes field?

The Belmont Stakes field is typically 8-10 horses. This year's field features 10 horses. Last year's Belmont Stakes field featured 9 horses. This is a much smaller field than the Kentucky Derby, which usually runs 20 horses, but is about on par with the Preakness - which usually runs 8 horses.

Race schedule and where to watch

Here is more information and tips on betting the Belmont Stakes, and how you can watch and wager on this year’s event.

Horse racing wagers and bets

In addition to the traditional “straight” wagers (Win, Place, Show), fans can also attempt to cash big in the various “exotic” pools. Exacta (first two), Trifecta (first three) and Superfecta (first four) wagering are all offered, and cashing a ticket in any of these pools can produce a bigger payday.

The Belmont Stakes betting odds are finally determined by the pari-mutuel system at the track which means your potential payout depends on how much money is in the pot overall, divided by how many bets are placed. The odds will fluctuate in the build-up to the race and never more so than in the final few moments before post time. The odds will differ depending on which of the best betting sites you go with.

Belmont Stakes history and results
