There is always a decent level of excitement in the week leading up to a Triple Crown race, but the buzz tends to reach fever pitch once the post positions have been drawn, and the morning line odds released. We now know what to expect for the Belmont Stakes, the final leg of the Triple Crown, in New York on Saturday, and we can now start thinking about how we are going to translate these betting odds into winning tickets. It’s actually a bigger field than expected, as the 8 definite have been joined by 5 more to create a field of 13 horses for the big race. Let’s take a look at their morning line odds, and let’s do so by putting them in their post position order.
