Horse racing is ready to take center stage in the sports world this Saturday with 10 horses set to run at the Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park.
The Triple Crown would have normally been completed by now. But due to COVID-19, the dates completely changed this year. The Kentucky Derby has been moved to September 5th while the Preakness will take place on October 3rd. For the first time ever, the now $1 million Belmont Stakes, normally the final race of the Triple Crown, will now be the first to take place this Saturday, June 20th.
On Wednesday, we learned where each Triple Crown hopeful will break from.
