Justify might get some help from above in his quest to complete the Triple Crown. The Bob Baffert-trained chestnut colt has already taken down the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes in sloppy conditions, and Saturday’s Belmont forecast at press time is looking more and more like rain. Justify will also break from post No. 1, which has produced more Belmont champions by far – 23 of them – than any other post position.

Among the other notable contenders for Saturday’s race: Vino Rosso, who has slipped from 8/1 on the Morning Line to 9/1; Tenfold, now available at 10/1 after opening at 12/1, and Blended Citizen, down from 15/1 to 20/1. Gronkowski (25/1), Noble Indy (33/1), Restoring Hope (33/1) and Free Drop Billy (66/1) round out the field.
