Belmont 2018: Post position draw time and live stream info

Betallsports · Jun 5, 2018

The 2018 Belmont Stakes is set for Saturday, but first we have to learn where the horses, namely Justify, will line up. That will be decided with the post position draw, which is taking place Tuesday from CitiField in New York, beginning at 5:30 p.m. ET.

While the event itself will not be televised, you can easily stream it at the official Belmont Stakes website via the New York Racing Association.

Trained by Bob Baffert, who also trained the Triple Crown-winning American Pharoah in 2015, Justify won both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes, so a Triple Crown bid is definitely on the line. Prior to American Pharoah winning it, 37 years had passed since the previous winner.

Justify is the first horse since American Pharoah to capture both the Derby and the Preakness going into the Belmont. The horse looked phenomenal in those two big wins, and is undefeated. Justify also has the distinction of breaking Apollo’s Curse, referring to Apollo in 1882, the last horse to win the Derby after not being raced as a two-year-old, at least until Justify did this year.

Bravazo is considered one of the top competitors to Justify, finishing sixth at Churchill Downs and second in the Preakness. Justify is, once again, the favorite for the Belmont Stakes, but a lot can happen between now and Saturday, when the race will be held.

But it has the most winners all time.

I'm so fucking happy,now i can't wait to hear Baffert cry after he he gets beat on how the rail was the horses downfall

Gravy · Jun 5, 2018

I would tend to agree that Justify being on the rail probably wasn't the thing Baffert wanted to see but looking at this race not a ton of speed in this race to pressure Justify IMO maybe Gronkowski because Chad Brown knows maybe how to beat Justify but doesnt have the horse.Still tinkering with the race

In his short career he's been on the front end.

Is there anyway he can sit back and close?

Or is he strictly a front end horse?

Best and worst post positions

Justify's Post 1 draw should have trainer Bob Baffert pretty excited. After running from Post 7 for both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, this weekend's favorite will look to become the first Triple Crown winner since 2015, and he'll be in the best track for Belmont races. The first post has produced more champions (23) than any other lane at Belmont Park. Fifteen different winners, meanwhile, have started from either Post 3 or Post 5, where Bravazo and long shot Restoring Hope will begin. Bravazo figures to benefit from that since he's long been considered Justify's chief competition.
It should be noted, though, that Belmont Stakes usually feature smaller fields, so the history of certain posts faring better might be a little less indicative of a horse's chances to win than in, say, Louisville.
Horses, jockeys and trainers

Justify

Trainer: Bob Baffert
Jockey: Mike Smith
The big kahuna. After winning the Kentucky Derby by 2.5 lengths, Justify stayed undefeated with a dominant Preakness Stakes victory and now, with the Apollo Curse well behind him, looks to become the first American Triple Crown winner since 2015's American Pharaoh, another Baffert specimen.
Vino Rosso

Trainer: Todd Pletcher
Jockey: John Velazquez
Pletcher's Always Dreaming captured headlines for his 2017 Kentucky Derby win, but Vino Rosso barely cracked the top 10 in Louisville. Still, he makes for a potential upset pick since he's rested up and looked fly at the Wood Memorial.
Bravazo

Trainer: D. Wayne Lukas
Jockey: Luis Saez
He finished sixth in the Kentucky Derby as one of that 20-horse field's biggest long shots, then skyrocketed to a second-place finish in Baltimore for the Preakness. He might represent Justify's biggest challenge under the guidance of Lukas.
Noble Indy

Trainer: Todd Pletcher
Jockey: Javier Castellano
The second of Pletcher's horses in the Belmont Stakes, he underwhelmed at the Kentucky Derby with a 17th-place finish but has three first-place runs in his last five races -- the most recent being the Louisiana Derby on March 24.
Hofburg

Trainer: William I. Mott
Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr.
He's a spoiler candidate with decent odds entering the race after a seventh-place showing at the Kentucky Derby. From purely a physical standpoint, he figures to give Justify a run for his money down the stretch.
Tenfold

Trainer: Steve Asmussen
Jockey: Victor Espinoza
Tenfold did not race as a 2-year-old and missed this year's Kentucky Derby after a fifth-place run in the Arkansas Derby, but with Espinoza -- a three-time Preakness winner -- riding him, he captured a third-place finish in Baltimore.
Gronkowski

Trainer: Chad C. Brown
Jockey: Jose Ortiz
Most known for being named after New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, he missed out on the Kentucky Derby because of an infection but is ready for his debut after a dominant run in Europe's Burradon Stakes.
Free Drop Billy

Trainer: Dale L. Romans
Jockey: Robby Albarado
He hasn't had a first-place finish since October 2017 and is probably the biggest long shot of the bunch. Still, he got himself warmed up with a 16th-place spot in the Kentucky Derby.
Blended Citizen

Trainer: Doug F. O'Neill
Jockey: Kyle Frey
His first-place mark at the 2018 Peter Pan have some hopeful for his showing at Belmont, where he won in May. He has just one other first-place finish in his previous nine races, however.
Restoring Hope

Trainer: Bob Baffert
Jockey: Florent Geroux
An anticipated addition to the Belmont lineup, he's another Baffert horse, which obviously spawns some questions about what kind of competition Justify will get from him. He finished 12th in the May 5 Pat Day Mile.

I would be shocked if Mike Smith doesnt go to the front but he could stalk which means 3rd or 4th at the worse but There really isnt a horse to put alot of pressure on him to speed him up.I watched the Touch Gold race and watching past Belmont the jockey tends to send there horses early on the 3/4 pole but remember Mike Smith is one of the best out there and he knows the track. Right now 4-6-7-8 to me is the only horses that have a chance to knock him off.
