Tiz the Law leads the 152nd Belmont Stakes odds, opening at 6-5 on June 17, and could become the first New York-bred horse to win the race since 1882. This comes on the heels of winning the Barclay Tagg’s Florida Derby (G1). Manny Franco has the ride. Todd Pletcher’s Dr Post opens with 5-1 Belmont 2020 odds, and last year’s winning Belmont trainer Mark Casse fields Tap It to Win at 6-1 opening odds.
The $1 million Belmont Stakes, which was moved from Saturday, June 6 to Saturday, June 20 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will run at a shortened distance from 1 1/2-miles (12 furlongs) to 1 1/8-miles (9 furlongs) “to properly account for the schedule adjustments to the Triple Crown series and overall calendar for 3-year-olds in training,” the New York Racing Association said in a statement.
