Twelve of the best thoroughbreds will compete for the Belmont Stakes crown.
Dennis Schneidler-USA TODAY Sports
Horse racing fans are in for a treat, as 12 thoroughbreds will compete for the Belmont Stakes championship. Unfortunately, Classic Empire, the favorite to win the race, was pulled from the competition because of a hoof abscess.
However, other horses like Patch, and Lookin at Lee will compete in this year’s race. Epicharis, a Japanese horse, has just been scratched. Lookin at Lee, the runner-up in this year’s Kentucky Derby, will race out of the sixth gate. And Patch, a one-eyed horse, will begin outside gate 12.
