They call the Belmont Stakes "The Test of the Champion" because of its muscle-sapping 1.5-mile distance, so it's somewhat fitting that one of the favorites for final of the Triple Crown is a would-be champion who's had his patience sorely tested over recent months.
Forte, who not long ago was being spoken of as a potential Triple Crown horse, had to sit out both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes with a bruised hoof. The exciting three-year-old has pedigree and then some, hailing from the stable of four-time Belmont winner Todd Pletcher, and being ridden by Irad Ortiz Jr., who won the August Belmont Trophy a year ago atop Mo Donegal.
Bob Baffert's Preakness winner National Treasure is another hot ticket, especially as the pressure's been slightly alleviated with no Triple Crown on the line, while Brad Cox's Angel of Empire is also turning heads at Elmont.
However, Forte's biggest competition may come from one of her stablemates, Tapit Trice. Pletcher has insisted that Tapit Trice has been bred for this distance, and the colt certainly appears to have Belmont in his blood, having been sired by Tapit, who's produced four of the past nine winners of this race.
With a blanket of white carnations and the lions' share of a $1.5 million purse up for grabs, here's how to watch a 2023 Belmont Stakes live stream no matter where you are. We've also listed the Belmont Stakes runners and riders further down the page.
