The final leg of the US Triple Crown takes place on Saturday, as a field of talented three-year-olds take part in the Belmont Stakes. This historic race will be staged at Saratoga for the next two years while Belmont Park undergoes building work, meaning this Classic will be run over a shorter distance of a mile-and-a-quarter.

Let's take a look through the latest Belmont Stakes betting and run through the headline entries.

Despite his defeat in the Kentucky Derby, Sierra Leone is the clear favourite to win Saturday's Classic, with 6/4 the best price you can find on Chad Brown's Blue Grass Stakes winner. Mindframe steps into Group company for the first time, but Todd Pletcher's unbeaten colt still sits second in the market.

Mystik Dan held off Sierra Leone to win the Kentucky Derby, before finishing second in the Preakness Stakes three weeks ago. The surprise winner that day was Seize The Grey, who'll make his second Classic start of the season for D Wayne Lukas.

Honor Marie couldn't make up late ground after a rough ride in the Kentucky Derby and Florent Geroux will be hoping for a smoother passage on Saturday. Dornoch and Resilience will also be having their first starts since finishing down the field in the Derby.

Antiquarian will also represent Todd Pletcher, after winning the Peter Pan Stakes last month. The Wine Steward and Protective, second and third in the Peter Pan, round off Saturday's field.
