Race Preview

With two different winners for the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, there will not be a Triple Crown champion in 2024. However, the Belmont Stakes is still poised to be a battle of champions, with the Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan and Preakness Stakes winner Dornoch both expected to contend. Mystik Dan has won two of his three starts this year, including a dominant victory in the Kentucky Derby. He is the morning-line favorite for the Belmont Stakes and will be looking to add another classic victory to his resume. Dornoch has won three of his four starts this year, including a victory in the Preakness Stakes. He is a closer who has shown a lot of heart and determination in his races. He will be looking to upset Mystik Dan and win the Belmont Stakes for the second straight year. In addition to Mystik Dan and Dornoch, other contenders in the Belmont Stakes include: * Forte (third in the Kentucky Derby) * Epicenter (fourth in the Kentucky Derby) * Mo Donegal (fifth in the Kentucky Derby) * Cyberknife (winner of the Arkansas Derby) * Zandon (winner of the Bluegrass Stakes) The Belmont Stakes is a 12-furlong race that is run on a dirt track. It is the longest and most grueling of the three Triple Crown races. The race is named after August Belmont, who founded the Belmont Park racetrack in 1890. The Belmont Stakes is one of the most prestigious races in Thoroughbred racing. It is a race that has been won by some of the greatest horses in history, including Man o' War, Secretariat, and American Pharoah.
