2025 Belmont Stakes updated odds: Post Positions, expert analysis, jockeys, trainers, and fun facts

Journalism (8-5) is the current favorite of sovereignty (2-1) and Baeza (4-1) also attracts much attention, but there is speed and potential sprayed in this field of eight horses. Hill Road claimed the local preparation career, Peter Pan Stakes, Rodríguez roared a victory in the wooden memorial, and raw won the Sirton Stakes 2025. A case can be presented for each one to challenge the favorites.

However, it is often worth considering the horse that closes as the favorite in Belmont. The favorite has won the Belmont 66 times that represents 42.6% of the 156 previous editions of the final jewel of the Triple Crown series.
