Saturday's Belmont Stakes will take place at Saratoga Race Course, and we've got you covered with Belmont odds, horses and post positions.
The final leg of the Triple Crown will be run at a shorter distance (1-1/4 miles) compared to the mile-and-a-half marathon typically staged at Belmont Park, which is currently undergoing major renovations.
Sierra Leone is the morning-line favorite at 9-5 to win the 2024 Belmont Stakes, which also features Derby winner Mystik Dan and Preakness victor Seize The Grey.

Morning-line odds are predictions about a horse's closing odds and have no bearing on what a bet will actually pay. With pari-mutuel wagering, odds are determined by the amount of money bet on each entry, and unlike in sports betting, closing odds are the prices at which each bet is effective.
2024 Belmont Stakes horse profiles
Here's a look at all 10 starters in this year's Belmont Stakes at Saratoga.
No. 1 Seize The Grey (8-1 odds)
Seize The Grey delivered trainer D. Wayne Lukas his seventh career win in the Preakness Stakes. He's 2-for-2 in his last two starts after winning the Grade 2 Pat Day Mile at Churchill Downs on the day of the Kentucky Derby. Seize The Grey now has four career wins including one at Saratoga, which is hosting this year's Belmont Stakes.
No. 2 Resilience (10-1)
Resilience finished sixth in the Kentucky Derby. Trainer Bill Mott put Resilience through his first workout since the Derby on May 27 at the Oklahoma training track in Saratoga. He was clocked at :50:45 over a half-mile. Resilience owns a win at Gulfstream Park and Aqueduct in seven career starts.
No. 3 Mystik Dan (5-1)
Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan assumed favorite status for the Preakness after Muth was scratched. He ran a credible race and finished runner-up to Seize The Gray. Mystik Dan will be the first horse to compete in all three legs of the Triple Crown since War of Will in 2019.
No. 4 The Wine Steward (15-1)
The Wine Steward won his first three races, but he's yet to record a victory in a stakes race. He finished second to Antiquarian in the Peter Pan Stakes last time out. The Wine Steward is coming off a solid five-furlong workout on Saturday at Churchill Downs, where he was clocked at 1:02.6.
No. 5 Antiquarian (12-1)
Antiquarian captured the Peter Pan Stakes win last time out, which was a precursor to a Belmont victory last year for Arcangelo. Antiquarian beat fellow Belmont entrants The Wine Steward and Protective in the 1-2-3 finish.
No. 6 Dornoch (15-1)
Dornoch drew the rail for the Kentucky Derby and finished a badly beaten 10th. That rough trip came after a win in the Remsen Stakes at Aqueduct, where Dornoch outlasted runner-up Sierra Leone down the stretch.
No. 7 Protective (20-1)
One of three shooters for trainer Todd Pletcher, Protective has yet to win in four career starts. He did impress a bit recently in the Peter Pan Stakes, finishing third and only two lengths in arrears of stablemate and winner Antiquarian.
No. 8 Honor Marie (12-1)
Honor Marie had his final pre-Belmont workout at Churchill Downs over the weekend. After finishing eighth in the Kentucky Derby with jockey Ben Curtis, Honor Marie will have Florent Geroux aboard in the Belmont after Curtis recently suffered a broken collarbone.
No. 9 Sierra Leone (9-5)
Sierra Leone got nipped by a Mystik Dan nose to finish second in the Kentucky Derby. After going off as the favorite for the Kentucky Derby, Sierra Leone is a worthy morning-line favorite for the Belmont Stakes. The Chad Brown-trained colt enjoyed a half-mile workout at Saratoga's Oklahoma training track on Saturday.

No. 10 Mindframe (7-2)
Trainer Todd Pletcher decided not to run stablemate Fierceness in the Belmont, but he's got an intriguing entry here with Mindframe. Back on March 30, Mindframe romped to a seven-length maiden win at Gulfstream Park. He posted the highest Beyer Speed Figure (103) of any Belmont horse in that win. Mindframe followed that effort up with a win at Churchill Downs to go 2-for-2 in his young career.
