2026 Belmont Stakes Entries and Post Positions

This is the official field for the 2026 Belmont Stakes, including post positions, trainers, jockeys, and morning-line odds for each horse in the field.

The Belmont Stakes Odds Movement to Watch

Here are updated odds for the Belmont Stakes compared to their morning lines, and how the odds on those horses have moved throughout wagering. These odds are as of 4:50 p.m. EST on Thursday, June 4, with $152,705 in the win pool.

The odds on Renegade have lengthened from 1-5 earlier Thursday when markets opened; expect his odds to lengthen further, but for him to remain a defined favorite.

The odds on every horse but Renegade have shortened since early Thursday, but that is because the vast majority of early money was on Renegade. The market still has yet to settle with so little in the pool, and the odds should begin to be more indicative on Friday as more money enters the pools.

How to Read Belmont Stakes Odds and Post Positions

In a simple sense, odds reflect what the public thinks a horse’s chances are to win a race. These odds can be based on the class of the races a horse has been running in, how well their trainer or jockey are doing, how often horses are winning or losing from their post position in recent races, or even news about how good (or bad) a horse looked while training.

Odds can be reflected in multiple formats. Typical at the racetrack are fractional odds, which express how much you’ll get back on top of your base bet if you win. For example, if you bet $1 on a horse at 1-1 odds, that’s even money: you’ll get back your $1 base bet plus the $1 in winnings. Decimal odds are more common outside of the United States: they show how much you’ll get back if your bet wins, with the stake included. So, an even-money horse would be listed as 2.00 in decimal odds: you bet $1, they win, and $2 lands in your hand.

If you do sports betting, you may be familiar with American odds, which are expressed as how much you have to bet in order to get $100 in profit for a less-than-even-money shot, or how much you get in winnings if you bet $100 for horses even-money or better. In this case, an even-money shot would be expressed as +100.

Here is a chart comparing common quantities in each of these odds formats, as well as what they imply a horse’s real probability to win is:
