What Time Is the Belmont Stakes? Location, Channel, Predictions

The stable was born in Sackets Harbor, N.Y., when six old high school buddies sat on the front porch of the village’s former mayor and acknowledged they were approaching midlife crises. Five of them were small businessmen and one a teacher, and their careers had been good to them. So they got in the horse business. The stable’s managing partner, Jack Knowlton, landed in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., as a health care consultant in the early 1980’s, hence the name.

The group, now with additional partners, captured the imagination of sports fans by arriving at each Triple Crown race in an old yellow school bus and coolers full of beer. Unfortunately, Empire Maker upset their bid to sweep the series in the Belmont Stakes.

Who else has a shot to win?

The Belmont has not been good to New York-breds. The only New York-breds to have won this race were Ruthless in the inaugural 1867 running, Fenian in 1869 and Forester in 1882.

With that in mind, you might want look for an alternative to bet. We got the horse right here: it’s Dr Post (5-1 in the morning line). This colt has won both his races as a 3-year-old, showing his toughness by overcoming traffic trouble in his last race, the mile-and-a-sixteenth Unbridled Stakes at Gulfstream Park.
