The 157th Belmont Stakes is set for Saturday at 7:04 p.m. at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. The last jewel in racing’s Triple Crown will feature a rematch between Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty and Preakness winner Journalism. The race is being held at Saratoga for the second consecutive year while renovations are being made at Belmont Park. Speculation is that the 2026 Belmont Stakes also will be held at Saratoga.

It’s back to Saratoga for at least one more Belmont Stakes. There are eight horses in this year’s field, down from 10 a year ago, and the distance is again a little shorter. Journalism, who had a solid workout on Sunday, looks to add one more notch in his candidacy for horse of the year. He won the Preakness and finished second to Sovereignty in the Kentucky Derby. “It’s cooler up here,” trainer Mike McCarthy said, referring to Sarasota Springs, N.Y. “He seems like he’s enjoying himself.

Mick Abel tied a 78-year-old Phillies record when he struck out nine Pirates in his first major league start . He threw 84 pitches in six innings and did not walk anyone. It was a terrific debut for Abel, 23, the club’s first-round pick in 2020. We cracked open the vaults and dusted off the electronic history books to take a look at the best debuts by Phillies starting pitchers in club history. Let’s count ‘em down starting with No. 10.

D. Wayne Lukas is as important to the history of the Preakness Stakes as the bourbon in a black-eyed Susan cocktail. The trainer’s first horse at the Pimlico race was Codex, in 1980, who won by 4¾ lengths. His most recent entrant, Seize the Grey, ran wire-to-wire to win last year as a 10-1 shot. Paid $21.60, which was nice. In Saturday’s race, American Promise will be the 49th Preakness horse Lukas has trained. He’s 15-1 in the morning line odds.

and the game ends with Denver at 87, which is today's example of my acumen as a pro bettor ... sharp as a wad of cotton candy
Saw a line of Nuggets TT of 110.5 ... it's 23-8 early second and that line is 89.5 ... heck of a middle for those sharp enough to be under the original line
