The field for the 151st Belmont Stakes was drawn Tuesday evening and Grade 1 hero Tacitus has been installed as the 9-5 morning-line favorite from the far outside post 10. Just to his inside is 2-1 second choice War of Will, who captured the Preakness Stakes (G1) last out.
Master Fencer tries a second time for a U.S. classic victory by lining up in the 2019 Belmont Stakes following an elevated sixth-placing in the Kentucky Derby (G1). The Japanese-bred runner is the third choice on the morning line at 8-1.
