The third and final Triple Crown race of the year, the Belmont Stakes will take place at Belmont Park on Saturday, June 11.<\/p>\n
After skipping the Preakness, Kentucky Derby 2022 winner Rich Strike is among the horses in the field at Belmont Park but won\u2019t be the favorite to win the 2022 Belmont Stakes.<\/p>\n
Instead, Mo Donegal (+265), who had a strong race but did not finish in the top-3 at the Kentucky Derby, comes in with some of the best odds to win the Belmont Stakes in 2022. However, early money has poured in on We The People (+250), who is now the morning line favorite following the post position draw.<\/p>\n
We the People will have the advantage of being on the rail at Belmont Park after drawing post 1 while Mo Donegal has a less favorable position on the outside with post 6.<\/p>\n
Despite being the favorite, the horse won\u2019t have history on his side, as the chalk has not been friendly to bettors at Belmont Park. In fact, only four post-time favorites have won the Belmont Stakes since 1996 (Point Given, Afleet Alex, American Pharaoh and Justify) and 7 of the last 14 (50%) Belmont Stakes winners have started with odds of 11-1 or higher.<\/p>\n
After a shocking 80-1 win at the Kentucky Derby, Rich Strike will be trying to prove that he can win away from Churchill Downs. The colt has two first-place finishes at Churchill Downs but is 0-for-6 away from his favorite race track.<\/p>\n
The second-biggest longshot to ever win the Kentucky Derby, Rich Strike (+550) will square off against a talented field with some talented new shooters in the Belmont Stakes.<\/p>\n
Barber Road (+1200) and Nest (+750) are also among the horses with the best Belmont Stakes odds.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Creative Minister (+650) will be looking to build on his third-place finish at the 2022 Preakness Stakes. Creative Minister has placed in the top three in all four of his career starts and owns a top Equibase Speed Figure of 108, the highest of any horse in the field.<\/p>\n
Only three of the last 35 winners in the Belmont Stakes have led at every call. While wire-to-wire winners aren\u2019t common, Belmont Park is also known to be tough on late closers. Since the course layout changed at Belmont Park in 1926, only five of the 89 winners were more than two lengths behind at the top of the short, 366-yard stretch.<\/p>\n
Below, we\u2019ll go over the Belmont Stakes 2022 odds for all of the entries in the $1.5 million, Grade 1 Stakes race at Belmont Park on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
