Rich Strike Belmont Stakes

Rich Strike won the Kentucky Derby. He's not expected to be the horse to beat in the field of eight at the Belmont Stakes. The favorite is 2-1 morning line favorite We the People.

Rich Strike won the Kentucky Derby on May 7. He will ride in the $1.5 million Belmont Stakes on Saturday. The horse that won that race, We the People, finished second to Golden Glider in Peter Pan Stake on April 14. The race is one of the biggest in horse racing. It's a mile and a half long and takes place on a sandy track. Jockeys are the main contenders. Sonny Leon rode Rich Strike in one the best rides in history. Jerry Bailey believes it's going to be a big task for him. They have never ridden at Bel Mont Park before. There are six horses in this race.
