This is shaping up to be a very intriguing race at Belmont Park. First, you have the return of Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty, who purposely skipped the Preakness Stakes in order to “better prepare” for the Belmont Stakes. Though he has been out of the action, Sovereignty still is one of the favorites to win the race.

The 157th running of the Belmont Stakes is scheduled for Saturday. While there is no Triple Crown up for grabs, and the location of the race has been moved from Long Island to Saratoga, there’s still plenty of intrigue for the final jewel of the Triple Crown.

There may be no Triple Crown at stake but the stage is set for two champions to battle it out in this year’s Belmont Stakes.
