Belmont Stakes 2019

Here is a list of the contenders, and the odds.

Intrepid Heart and Sir Winston will try to change history when they load into the starting gates on Saturday for the 2019 Belmont Stakes. Both horses enter the Belmont Stakes 2019 after racing in the local prep race, the Peter Pan Stakes, one month ago. In that race at Belmont Park, Sir Winston finished second, while Intrepid Heart was third. Since 2000, only one horse (Tonalist in 2014) has run in the Peter Pan and also emerged victorious from the Belmont Stakes lineup. Now, Intrepid Heart is listed with 2019 Belmont Stakes odds of 10-1, while Sir Winston is at 12-1, the fifth-best in the 10-horse field. Wood Memorial winner Tacitus is the 2019 Belmont Stakes favorite at 9-5, with War of Will close behind at 2-1. Post time for the 1 1/2-mile marathon is 6:48 p.m. ET. With so little separating the top two favorites and plenty of fresh faces in the starting gates, you need to see what legendary horse racing handicapper Hank Goldberg is saying about the race before making any 2019 Belmont Stakes picks of your own.
