This year’s Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets will be held June 5 at Belmont Park, and the race could be one of the deepest editions in recent memory with a bevy of runners from the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve rested and ready to return with five weeks of rest. The 1 1/2-mile "Test of the Champion" also could draw both the winner and runner-up from the Preakness Stakes on May 15 at Pimlico.

America’s Best Racing has put together a slideshow of the 3-year-olds expected to compete in the final jewel of the Triple Crown. For most of the contenders targeting the Belmont Stakes, we were able to find a nice mix of photos to show fans their competitive side as well as a little bit about their personality.
