The Belmont Stakes Racing Festival rolls on Friday and the trio of handicappers from This Is Horse Racing are back to work in search of some winners.

The Belmont Stakes Festival started Thursday and continues Friday with an 11-race card topped by five stakes.

Irish War Cry inherited the role of favorite for Saturday’s 149th running of the Belmont Stakes following the defection of Classic Empire Wednesday morning prior to the post-position draw for the final jewel of the Triple Crown.

One final card for the weekend and before Belmont Stakes Week gets underway at Belmont Park.

One week to go until the final jewel of the Triple Crown and a spectacular afternoon of racing, but first things first and a 10-race Saturday card at Belmont Park.

A showdown in California, a competitive 3-year-old stakes on the grass headlining a top card in Pennsylvania and strong turf stakes in New York and New Jersey top a busy day of action previewed in this week’s Saturday Special presented by Pin Oak Stud. And don’t forget the Investec Epsom Derby across the Atlantic Ocean.

The serious countdown is on and there’s only one weekend to go until the final jewel of the 2017 Triple Crown goes down at Belmont Park.

The final day of the extended Memorial Day weekend and Belmont Park serves up its best card of the quartet Monday afternoon.

Memorial Day weekend moves onto Sunday and a nine-race card awaits at Belmont Park highlighted by the return of last year’s Belmont Stakes runner-up Destin.
