No surprise out of the Belmont Stakes as California Chrome is the favorite to win the third leg of the Triple Crown at 3-5 odds. Chrome will run out of the second post as he attempts to become only the 12th horse in history to ever complete the Triple Crown.
Victor Espinoza will ride Chrome in the race in a position that 11 Belmont winners have come from, the last being Tabasco Cat in 1994. Wicked Strong is the 6-1 second choice for the race after finishing fourth in the Kentucky Derby and skipping out on the Preakness Stakes.
Tonalist at (8-1) and Ride On Curlinat (12-1) round out the top four horses in the race as they look to take the historic feat away from California Chrome.
