The field has a distinguished group of trainers. Four of them won the Belmont in the past, three trainers are in the Hall of Fame, two have Preakness victories and three won the Kentucky Derby.
Six graded-stakes winners are in the field, with four of them having a Grade 1 victory to their credit. Three of the horses ran in the Kentucky Derby, finishing third, fifth and seventh, and then skipped the Preakness.
Four horses come into the Belmont with a victory in their most recent races, which include the Preakness, Florida Derby (G1), Peter Pan (G3) and an allowance at Gulfstream Park.
