Justify took the first two jewels of said Triple Crown, the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes, and has as hot at making history on Saturday. American Pharoah, another horse trained by Bob Baffert, same as Justify, accomplished the feat in 2015. Prior to that, there had been no Triple Crown winner in 37 years.
Of course, Justify is the favorite for Saturday’s race, or at least has been for essentially the entirety of the pre-race buildup. In fact, Justify was the favorite going into the Derby and the Preakness as well. Neither race was a huge blowout, but there’s a lot of confidence surrounding the three-year-old thoroughbred going into the race at Belmont Park.
Below is all you need to know to watch the action on Saturday.
