2026 Belmont Stakes Predictions, Odds, Field, Location, Track, Time: Picks via Proven Horse Racing Expert

Golden Tempo and Renegade renew their Derby rivalry as experts eye a shorter field and a longshot to boost exotic wagers.

  • Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo and runner-up Renegade headline Saturday's Belmont Stakes at Saratoga Race Course on June 6, 2026, in a highly anticipated rematch.
  • Both horses skipped the Preakness Stakes to focus on this race after Golden Tempo narrowly edged out Renegade in the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs last month.
  • This year's "Test of the Champion" covers 1 1/4 miles at Saratoga instead of the traditional 1 1/2 miles at Belmont Park, featuring nine horses in the field.
  • Oddsmakers list Renegade as the 2-1 favorite, followed by Chief Wallabee at 3-1, while Golden Tempo enters as the third-favorite at 9-2 odds.
  • The race concludes the 2026 Triple Crown season at Saratoga, which hosts for the third year during a $550 million overhaul of Belmont Park slated for completion next year.
