Horse racing's Triple Crown concludes on Saturday when the starting gate opens for the final jewel, the 2025 Belmont Stakes at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Sovereignty won the first leg of the Triple Crown, the Kentucky Derby, but his connections decided to skip the Preakness Stakes to target the Belmont. Kentucky Derby runner-up Journalism won the Preakness, setting up a rematch with Sovereignty in the Belmont. Journalism is the 8-5 favorite in the 2025 Belmont Stakes odds. Sovereignty (2-1), Baeza (4-1), Rodriguez (6-1) and Hill Road (10-1) round out the top five favorites among the eight 2025 Belmont Stakes horses. Post time for the $2 million Belmont Stakes 2025 is 7:04 p.m. ET. Other Belmont Stakes contenders include Crudo (15-1) and Heart of Honor (30-1). 

With talented 3-year-old horses entering the starting gate on Saturday, you NEED to see what Santa Anita-based racing reporter and insider Michelle Yu, who's in Saratoga Springs to cover the race, has to say before making any 2025 Belmont Stakes picks.

Few people in racing are as well-connected as Yu. An on-air host and reporter who has provided racing analysis for TVG, HRTV and the Breeders' Cup, Yu has spent a lifetime in racing. Prior to her television career, she worked for trainers Steve Asmussen and Ron Moquett. She also is married to Santa Anita-based trainer Ryan Hanson.

In a wide-open Kentucky Derby in 2021, she gave out Medina Spirit, who crossed the finish line first, as the winner at 12-1. In Pool 5 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager three years ago, she suggested a play on All Other 3-Year-Olds, which cashed at a whopping 18-1 when Rich Strike won.
