So it comes down to this. Big Sandy. The Test of Champions. California Chrome in of field of 11 three-year-old colts in the mile and a half Belmont Stakes in an attempt to end a 36-year Triple Crown drought. The Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner rolls into Elmont, New York on a six-race win streak with just a lucky number seven to go to seal his place in racing history. The 2014 Belmont Stakes is scheduled to go to post at 6:52 p.m. Eastern time with coverage provided by NBC.
California Chrome drew post position 2 and was installed as the 3/5 morning line favorite by the Belmont Park odds maker. Ride On Curlin, runner up to Chrome in the Preakness, drew post position 5 and is 12/1 on the morning line. Kentucky Derby runner-up Commanding Curve drew post 4 and is 15/1 on the morning line. Wicked Strong is the second choice on the morning line at odds of 6/1.
The field is set. Let's start the insanity.
