The third and final leg of horse racing’s triple crown, the 2022 Belmont Stakes wraps up what’s been an undeniably wild spring at the track.
First it was Rich Strike pulling off an 80-1 upset at the Kentucky Derby. Then the thoroughbred withdrew from the Preakness Stakes as Early Voting gave trainer Chad Brown his second victory at Pimlico.
Rich Strike finally drew back into the field on Saturday in Elmont, New York—but now Early Voting is sitting out the event.
Even without a showdown between the two Derby and Preakness winners, there’s plenty on the line at the Belmont. That includes a purse totaling $1.5 million.
Here’s how it breaks down:
2022 Belmont Stakes Payouts
- $800,000
- $280,000
- $150,000
- $100,000
- $60,000
