Belmont 2026 odds, favorite, post positions for field at Saratoga

[ASFN Admin]

Renegade was made the 2-1 morning-line favorite during Monday’s draw for the Belmont Stakes, set for Saturday, June 6, at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York.

Renegade, runner-up in the Kentucky Derby, drew the No. 4 post in a field of nine for the $2 million, Grade 1 Belmont.

The race is being held at Saratoga because of renovations at Belmont Park, the traditional host track located in Elmont, New York. Because of the change in tracks, the Belmont will be contested at 1 1/4 miles instead of 1 1/2 miles.


Post time is set for 7:04 p.m., and FOX will have live coverage from 3-7:30 p.m.

The Belmont will mark the racing return of Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo, who skipped the Preakness. Golden Tempo drew the No. 9 post and is 9-2 in the morning line.
