Belmont Stakes: 2022 post position draw results and morning line odds

The final jewel of the Triple Crown is up for grabs this Saturday at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York as horse racing turns its attention to the 2022 Belmont Stakes.

After skipping the Preakness Stakes to prepare for the annual June event, Kentucky Derby-winner Rich Strike is back in the field and one of the favorites to win the 1.5 mile dirt race at 7-2.

It’s been a wild season for the former 80-1 longshot who stunned the world at Churchill Downs. Now he’ll get to face off against some familiar names. Though just eight horses were entered into Tuesday’s post position draw, the experience among them is nothing to take lightly.

We The People opens on the rail as the odds-on favorite at 2-1.

Barber Road and Mo Donegal will get a long-awaited rematch with Rich Strike following their battle at the Kentucky Derby. Preakness entrants Creative Minister and Skippylongstocking will try to improve on their respective third- and fifth-place finishes.

Early Voting, who won last month’s Preakness Stakes, has opted to skip the Belmont Stakes in order to prepare for the  Travers Stakes in August.

Here’s a look at the post position draw and morning line odds for the 154th running of the Belmont Stakes.
