Belmont Stakes 2024: Derby and Preakness Winners Set for Showdown at Saratoga

Mystik Dan and Seize the Grey lead a competitive 10-horse field in a unique Belmont Stakes at a shorter distance.

The Belmont Stakes will be held at Saratoga Race Course this year due to renovations at Belmont Park.
The race will be contested at 1¼ miles instead of the traditional 1½ miles, altering the usual dynamics.
Sierra Leone, runner-up in the Kentucky Derby, is the morning-line favorite at 9-5 odds.
Mystik Dan, the Derby winner, and Seize the Grey, the Preakness winner, will start from posts No. 3 and No. 1, respectively.
Trainer Todd Pletcher has the most entries, including the promising but inexperienced Mindframe.
