Renegade Favored to Rematch Golden Tempo in Belmont

Renegade, odds +200, is the favorite in the 158th Belmont Stakes at Saratoga, aiming to overturn his narrow Derby loss to Golden Tempo.

Renegade, backed by trainer Todd Pletcher, owner Mike Repole, and jockey Irad Ortiz Jr., leads the Belmont field at +200 odds after a dramatic second-place finish to Golden Tempo in the Kentucky Derby. Golden Tempo, the Derby winner, is the third choice at +450, entering the race fresh after skipping the Preakness. The 158th Belmont will run Saturday at 7:04 p.m. EST on FOX, marking the final year at Saratoga before the event returns to Belmont Park in 2027. newsindata.org
