Who are the 9 horses entered for Saturday's Belmont Stakes?

[ASFN Admin]

The final leg of the 2026 Triple Crown will take place on Saturday at Saratoga Race Course. The Belmont Stakes will be run there again because Belmont Park remains under construction and will not be ready in time.

This will be the second leg of this Triple Crown series not run at its usual spot in 2026. The Preakness Stakes was contested at Laurel Park in Maryland as Pimlico is being rebuilt.

There will be no controversy over whether a horse won the Triple Crown under these circumstances. Golden Tempo, who won the Kentucky Derby, skipped the Preakness. Napoleon Solo, who won the Preakness, will pass on the Belmont.

The Belmont will be conducted at 1 1/4 miles because Saratoga is not set up properly for a 1 1/2-miles race for 3-year-olds on its dirt track.

Nine horses have been entered in Saturday's race, which will be broadcast by FOX and has a 7:04 p.m. ET, post time.
