Belmont Stakes betting preview: 2025 odds
The 2025 Belmont Stakes will run on Saturday at Saratoga Race Course in Upstate New York, and eight horses have been entered. $61 million in Belmont Stakes bets were placed last year.
Journalism finished second in the Kentucky Derby and then won the Preakness Stakes, and he’ll be the only horse in the 2025 Belmont Stakes field that competed in all three legs of the Triple Crown. Even though he was beaten by Sovereignty at Churchill Downs, he’s the 8-5 favorite in the 2025 Belmont Stakes odds.
Sovereignty bypassed the Preakness and will be the more well-rested of the two American classic winners this season, but he was priced at 2-1 on the morning line after drawing the No. 2 post. He started on the outside (No. 18 post) in the Kentucky Derby and used that width to sit well off the pace before charging from 16th position to the front at the top of the stretch and then pulled away from Journalism in the final furlong to win by 1 1/2 lengths.
He’ll have more traffic to deal with at Saratoga on Saturday but he shipped directly to New York after his Kentucky Derby win and has trained well. Also returning to the Triple Crown trail will be Baeza, who was making up ground on the leaders late but finished a neck behind Journalism in third at Churchill Downs. His half-brothers Dornoch and Mage won the 2024 Belmont Stakes and the 2023 Kentucky Derby and he’s 4-1 on the Belmont odds board.
Post positions and latest Belmont Stakes odds (as of 3:15 p.m. ET)
Journalism remains the favorite, with Baeza being a popular bet to pull the upset after opening at 4-1.
- Hill Road 12-1
- Sovereignty 3-1
- Rodriguez 6-1
- Uncaged 17-1
- Crudo 11-1
- Baeza 3-1
- Journalism 9-5
- Heart of Honor (ENG) 18-1
Weather at Belmont Stakes today
As of 3:20 p.m. ET before Race 7, the dirt track at Saratoga is graded as sloppy, just like it was for the Kentucky Derby. The Belmont Stakes is Race 13 at 7:04 p.m. ET. The forecast calls for only a 5% chance of precipitation around post time for the big race. Whether the track condition improves depends on how well it drains at Saratoga.
Keep an eye on the track condition in the races before the Belmont Stakes to see if it improves. Every racebook app will display the track condition for both dirt and turf races on the race menu near the top of the screen.

Despite the complexities of horse racing betting, it was relatively easy to see the payout structure on the TwinSpires app and website. TwinSpires has a list of all available races users can wager on and provides detailed payouts for all bets on a specific horse, including Win, Place and Show bets. All wagers are locked shortly before a race begins, but users do have the ability to cash out of a wager before a race locks. There could potentially be a small fee for the books and racecourses for their operational costs, but the option to cash out does exist.
TwinSpires has an extensive library of resources on its website and application, which is available to both iOS and Android users. Overall, the user experience was fairly seamless on the website. The mobile application did occasionally slow down, but it was still easy to navigate.
