🏇 Belmont Stakes Honors Past, Embraces Present

Fifty years after Secretariat made history, the Belmont Stakes will honor its past. [View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider with Martin Rogers: Secretariat’s amazing run at the Belmont was years ago at this point, but that legacy still is very much alive … Dalvin Cook and the Vikings are splitting up, but where could he land next? … and more! Walk through the gates of Belmont Park this Saturday and the souvenir program that gets pressed into your hand might seem a little different. For a start, there’ll be a big old advertisement for Marlboro cigarettes on the back, the kind of thing that hasn’t been spotted on printed sporting paraphernalia for a long time. The paper will look yellowed, the font is old school, and finally, there, in the list of runners for the Belmont Stakes (7:05 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app) — the third leg of the Triple Crown — sits the name Secretariat, its mere mention still enough to make any sports history aficionado stop for a double take. All this is a drawn-out way of saying that Belmont organizers have reproduced an exact replica of the 1973 race program for the 2023 event, on account of it being the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest feats the sport of horse racing has ever seen. But it is more than just a cool peek into the past or a slick marketing ploy.

[BET OF THE DAY] Odds provided by [FOX Bet]( Tapit Trice to Win Belmont Stakes (+300) From FOX Sports Wagering Expert: Chris Fallica He was very close to being favored in the Derby and just never fired. But now he's back in New York where he broke his maiden with a huge chance to win. Tapit Trice is a closer but can be more of a stalker than a deep closer. He beat Blazing Sevens by a greater margin at KEE than National Treasure did in the Preakness, but Blazing Sevens needed that race. Of the two Todd Pletcher runners, I prefer Tapit Trice to Forte as I have fewer doubts about his racing shape. He should be grinding away at the leaders and has a great chance of winning this race. If you're looking to make a bet on one horse to win, Tapit Trice would be the wager for you, as indicated in my betting card. For the latest betting odds, [click here](.
