Horse racing fans aren't going to watch a racehorse win the Triple Crown in 2022, but there are still plenty of reasons to be excited about the 2022 Belmont Stakes.
Both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes have provided fans with thrilling races this year. The derby saw 80-1 longshot Rich Strike emerge with a victory just a day after earning his way into the field as a last-minute replacement. Then, the Preakness saw Early Voting take down Epicenter in a neck-and-neck contest.
Rich Strike will be the only horse with a chance to earn a second Triple Crown jewel in 2022, as Early Voting is sitting out of the Belmont given the tight window between it and the Preakness. However, the Derby-winning colt, who will be ridden by Sonny Leon, will face stiff competition from Mo Donegal and We the People in the longest of the three Triple Crown races.
Additionally, Nest will look to become the first filly to win the race since Rags to Riches did in 2007. Only three fillies have managed to win the Belmont during the race's history.
Here's everything to know about how to watch the Belmont Stakes, including what channel it will be on.
