Overanalyze will start out of the third post, which is significant because the last two Belmont Stakes winners -- Union Rags and Ruler on Ice, had the same starting position.
Kentucky Derby winner Orb will shoot for his second victory in the three crown jewels, while Oxbow, who was victorious in the Preakness Stakes last month, shares the same 3-to-1 odds of winning. Both horses have fairly advantageous starting positions: Orb will start in post No. 5 while Oxbow begins in post No. 7.
Here is a full list of starting positions for this year’s race, which begins at 6:36 p.m. ET on NBC:
1. Frac Daddy
2. Freedom Child
3. Overanalyze
4. Giant Finish
