Bring on the Belmont Stakes! It has been a Triple Crown series full of surprises and I expect there will be plenty of twists for the ten who compete in “The Test of the Champion.” Who will that champion be? We shall soon see. For the time being, here’s the brief on the Belmont.

It definitely doesn’t seem like it has been nearly two weeks since the Kentucky Derby but here we go, it is time for the 144th edition of the Preakness Stakes. The results of the Kentucky Derby were different and unexpected. We will not have an opportunity for a Triple Crown winner this year. Fortunately, there is a large field of fantastic talent entered in this Preakness, which may still be one of the greatest races. Get ready for one of the best and oldest, classic Grade 1 races, the Preakness Stakes!

The Kentucky Derby leaderboard is bound to have some big changes over the course of the next three day’s events. Multiple races will award KY Derby points nationally and abroad. 170 points are up for grabs in the next 4 races on the Road to the KY Derby. The Risen Star alone offers 85 points as the first major jump in value. A win in the Risen Star will almost definitely secure a post in the KY Derby. The big rivals have been rounded up to race in the Risen Star!
