A Low Post Position a Plus In Belmont Stakes

Since 2013 – the last 10 runnings of the Belmont Stakes – we’ve seen a massive 80% of winners hail from post positions 8 or lower.

Creator (2016) and Palace Malice (2013) defied this Belmont Stakes trend to win from gates 13 and 12, but the last six winners now have all come from stalls 8 or lower.

Are Gates 1 and 2 Magic Belmont Stakes Number?

We can also drill into this draw stat a bit further with 50% of the last 10 winners also coming from stalls 1 or 2 (two each) to back-up that having an inside berth the Belmont has its advantages.

In 2021 Essential Quality won from gate 2, with Tapwrit also did the business from this stall in 2017. Tonalist (2014) and Triple Crown winner Justify (2018) were the pair that won the Belmont Stakes from stall 1.

12 months ago, we saw Mo Donegal win from gate 6 (watch below), while the first three home over the last two runnings have been 6-3-2 and 2-4-3.

What About the Belmont Stakes Favorite?

The ‘Third Jewel Of The Triple Crown’ has been a good race for favorite backers in recent years – with 60% of the last 10 winning.

In fact, we’ve seen the last three market leaders win too and 4 of the last 5.

It’s also a race that if the market leader doesn’t win, he’s not far away – a massive 9 of the last 10 Belmont Stakes favorites finished in the top three.

Are Blinkers Really A Plus In The Belmont Stakes?

In short, yes and no! Yes, not very helpful here, but with only half of the last 10 Belmont Stakes winners wearing blinkers, then having headgear in this final US Triple Crown race isn’t a ‘must-have’.

Respect Anything The Bob Baffert and Todd Pletcher Barns Run

With Bob Baffert and Todd Pletcher having won 5 of the last 10 runnings of the Belmont Stakes between them, then anything they run has to given a second glance.

Baffert has won the race three times overall (2001, 2015 & 2018), with his most recent Justify in 2018.

Pletcher has four Belmont Park wins to his name (2007, 2013, 2017 & 2022), with last year’s winner Mo Donegal his last.

How Many Preakness Stakes Winners Have Won the Belmont Stakes?

Over the years we’ve seen 18 horses win only the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes, while with there being 13 Triple Crown winners too, this means overall US horse racing fans have witnessed 31 horses that have won Saturday’s Belmont Stakes and the Preakness over the years.

The last horse to win ‘only’ the Belmont and Preakness was Afleet Alex in 2005, with Justify (2018) the last Triple Crown winner to take both.

This year the recent Preakness Stakes winner National Treasure will be hoping to add the “Run for the Carnations” to his CV and become the 32nd horse to win both races and if successful would be trainer Bob Baffert’s fourth Belmont winner.
