Belmont Stakes odds analysis
Rest or rust? That's the question bettors are asking themselves as they decide whether to take one more swing at a Forte victory. Forte was a hefty favorite at Churchill Downs before being scratched the morning of the race; he was then placed on a mandatory 14-day veterinary list which prevented him from being eligible to race in the Preakness.
The potential presence of Forte, Tapit Trice, and Angel of Empire have created an intriguing situation at the top of the odds list, with the Preakness winner the No. 4 favorite in Elmont.
