There won't be a Triple Crown winner in horse racing this year, but the 157th running of the Belmont Stakes on Saturday should be an exciting race nonetheless. This is the second straight year the race will take place in Saratoga Springs, New York, while renovations are done on the Belmont track in Elmont, New York.
Journalism — this year's Kentucky Derby favorite (and eventual runner-up to winner Sovereignty) — who won the Preakness several weeks ago, opened as the 8-5 morning line favorite. Journalism drew the No. 7 post.

Sovereignty, the Derby winner who skipped the Preakness, had the second-best morning line odds at 2-1 and drew the No. 2 post. Baeza, who finished third in the Derby, had the next-best odds at 4-1 from the No. 6 post.
The two horses with the longest odds are Uncaged (No. 4 post) and Heart of Honor (No. 8 post) at 30-1.
Dornoch (17-1) won last year's Belmont, with Mindframe second and favorite Sierra Leone in third.
Post time is 7:07 p.m. ET on Saturday.
Here are the post positions and odds for every horse in the 157th Belmont:
1. Hill Road (10-1)
2. Sovereignty (2-1)

4. Uncaged (30-1)
