Why Is The Belmont Stakes Taking Place At Saratoga?
Due to the huge renovation of Belmont Park, the Belmont Stakes’ original home, the third leg of the Triple Crown is taking place at Saratoga for the third and final year.

Can Renegade Reverse The Kentucky Derby Form With Golden Tempo
The Kentucky Derby was an absolute classic with Golden Tempo denying Renegade late on the line.
And this highly anticipated rematch looks to be be another extraordinary race.
But can Renegade deny Golden Tempo this time? It’s not certain but gate four might help his cause if he wants to get a prominent position early on.
Golden Tempo will have to come from the back again, but that suits him clearly considering he came from way back in the Derby.
Renegade, like Golden Tempo has been kept fresh for this assignment as they both skipped the Preakness.
Winning the Arkansas Derby gives Renegade a huge chance on figures and on any other day, he probably would have won the Kentucky Derby.
As for Golden Tempo, he might need things to fall his way again but with their being just nine runners, it might be an easier task.
