Which Horse Will Win The Belmont Classic in 2024

The best way to pick which horse will win the Belmont Classic in 2024 is to take into account their lead-up winter form, assess the barriers and look at the weights. 

Additional factors to consider when picking the Belmont Classic winner include: 

  • Lead Ups – The Aquanita Stakes and Belmont Oaks serve as nice lead-up races into the event. Chantrea (2020) and Ihts Closing Inn (2023) are the latest fillies to complete the Belmont Oaks – Belmont Classic double. Black Fantasy (2022) was the last galloper to win the Aquanita Stakes – Belmont Classic double
  • Track – Three-year-olds proven at the Belmont track and with form up to at least 2000m are the ones to follow.

Belmont Classic Favourites 2024

Favourites in Belmont Classic 2024 betting include last start Belmont Oaks winning filly Petrouchka, the Brian Kersley-trained Jimmy Choux gelding Weeraechoux, and the widely-drawn Pierro filly Antique Queen
