The 2025 Belmont Stakes is set to take place at Saratoga Race Course on June 7 at 7:04 p.m. ET. With expert insights from seasoned horse racing analyst Jody Demling, predictions are already heating up.

Demling has an impressive track record, having accurately picked four of the last seven Belmont Stakes winners. In his analysis, he highlights Rodriguez as the fastest contender with a top Equibase Speed Figure of 111, although he is currently rated as a 6-1 underdog.

Current Leading Contenders:

• Journalism: Preakness winner (odds: 8-5)
• Sovereignty: Kentucky Derby winner (odds: 2-1)
• Baeza: another strong competitor (odds: 4-1)

There are various betting options to consider, especially with horses like Rodriguez offering potential value.
