The final leg of this year's Triple Crown racing season for the top three-year old thoroughbreds comes to a conclusion next Saturday at Belmont Park with the running of $1.5 million Belmont Stakes. The one thing that we know for sure is that we will have three different winners for each of these major graded events after the owners of Kentucky Derby winner Always Dreaming and Preakness Stakes winner Cloud Computing both decided to opt out of running their champion colts in the grueling 1 1/4 mile trip around the track at Belmont on June 10.
A pair of the top three-year old colts that are expected to race in the Belmont Stakes are Classic Empire and Lookin At Lee as the only two probable entries set to run in all three Triple Crown events. A number of horses that ran in the Kentucky Derby, but not the Preakness are expected to be in the field for the main event at Belmont Park next Saturday including Tapwrit, J Boys Echo and Irish War Cry, who closed as a 9/2 co-favorite with Always Dreaming to win the annual 'Run for the Roses' at Churchill Downs back on May 6.
