As the equestrian world turns its attention to Belmont Park, the anticipation of the 2023 Belmont Stakes fills the air. This year’s Belmont Stakes is the final jewel in the prestigious Triple Crown, featuring an exciting line-up of nine contenders on the racetrack. The big question on everyone’s mind is: When is the race starting?
Belmont Stakes 2023 Post Time
The post time for the 2023 Belmont Stakes has been set for 7:02 p.m. ET on Saturday, June 10th. Fans and enthusiasts eagerly await this enthralling event and even if you’re not lucky enough to witness it live, there are many ways for you to catch up and watch Belmont Stakes on TV or live stream.
In any case, there are many exciting stories to unfold in this edition of Belmont Stakes. This year, we will witness trainer Bob Baffert attempting to secure the Preakness-Belmont double for a fourth time with his prodigious equine, National Treasure.
National Treasure, the son of Quality Road out of Treasure, displayed exceptional racing prowess three weeks ago at Pimlico. He triumphed in a three-furlong face-off with Blazing Sevens, capturing everyone’s attention. However, National Treasure will face a formidable array of 2023 Belmont Stakes horses this time. Competitors like Forte, Tapit Trice, and Angel of Empire are ready to return to the racing circuit after sitting out the second leg of the Triple Crown.
Belmont Stake Contenders and Dark Horses
Each horse brings its unique strengths and competitive edge to the race. At present, the Belmont Stakes odds favor Forte at 5-2. Tapit Trice follows closely with odds of 3-1, Angel of Empire stands at 7-2, and National Treasure trails with odds of 5-1. The unpredictable nature of horse racing makes these odds subject to change as we draw nearer to race day.
Among the favourites we can also find Arcangelo ridden by Javier Castellano, this year’s Kentucky Derby winner with Mage. While Mage won’t be participating in this race, Castellano will be hoping to get another victory in this year’s Triple Crown. Hit Show, who finished fifth in Kentucky Derby, will also be hoping to make a splash at Belmont Stakes and compete for that lucrative prize money.
