What time does the Belmont Stakes start?

Published Jun. 11, 2016 7:00 a.m. ET

The final leg of horse racing's Triple Crown takes place Saturday at the 148th Belmont Stakes in New York.

Unfortunately for race fans, there will be no history on the line at Belmont Park this year. A year after American Pharoah won the sport's first Triple Crown in 37 years, no horse is eligible in 2016. Nyquist, which won the Kentucky Derby won't be at Belmont Park after losing the Preakness and being pulled due to illness. But Preakness Stakes winner Exaggerator will be there, and as of Friday afternoon he was a +125 to take home the 1½ mile race.
