There won’t be a Triple Crown winner this year -- there were different winners for the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes -- but the winners of both of those races are among the 10-horse Belmont field.

Neither Derby winner Mystik Dan (6-1) nor Preakness champion Seize the Grey (3-1) were the favorite as of Thursday, according to DraftKings. The horse with the lowest odds is Derby runner-up Sierra Leone (2-1).

In the Belmont, racers compete for a $2 million purse. Saturday is the third day of a four-day Belmont Festival. Over the four days, there are 23 stakes races worth more than $10 million.

Tickets for the race are sold out but are available on resale sites such as StubHub, VividSeats and SeatGeek. The race is being held in Upstate New York because the Belmont track is getting a $455 million upgrade.
