Journalism and Uncaged may share the same sire, but that’s about where their similarities end entering the 2025 Belmont Stakes on Saturday. Both 2025 Belmont Stakes starters are sired by Curlin, a seven-time Grade 1 stakes winner and 2007 Preakness Stakes champion, but their 2025 Belmont Stakes odds show how lineage can be helpful, but doesn’t guarantee a champion horse. Journalism is the 8-5 favorite in the 2025 Belmont Stakes odds to win, while Uncaged is a 30-1 longshot and coming off finishing sixth in the Peter Pan Stakes. Uncaged did win two of his first three career races, so given his similar lineage to Journalism, could he possess value as such a significant longshot to use in 2025 Belmont Stakes bets in the final leg of the Triple Crown set for Saturday at 7:04 p.m. ET? With the Belmont Stakes annually featuring many of the fastest horses in North American racing, you’ll want to see what racing reporter and analyst Michelle Yu has to say before making any 2025 Belmont Stakes picks, considering the success she’s had handicapping this race.
Yu is coming off a strong 2025 Kentucky Derby where she hit the exacta. She started 2025 by correctly going all-in on Citizen Bull to win the Robert B. Lewis Stakes, and she also predicted Forever Young’s win in the $20 million Saudi Cup, Journalism’s win in the San Felipe Stakes, Sandman’s win in the Arkansas Derby and Mindframe’s win in the Churchill Downs Stakes this year. Anyone who has followed him on those picks could be up huge, especially when using the latest FanDuel Racing promo code and TwinSpires promo code when trying to figure out how to bet on the Belmont Stakes.
Now, with the 2025 Belmont Stakes post positions set and odds on the board, Yu is sharing her 2025 Belmont Stakes betting picks and 2025 Belmont Stakes predictions. You can head to SportsLine now to see them.
Top 2025 Belmont Stakes predictions
One surprise: Yu is fading Sovereignty, even though he is one of the top favorites at 2-1 in the Belmont Stakes 2025 odds. In fact, Yu doesn’t even have the Kentucky Derby winner among her top two picks in her 2025 Belmont Stakes bets. Journalism followed that second-place finish by winning the 2025 Preakness Stakes for his fifth victory in seven races, and no horse has finished better than him twice over his career. Besides Journalism, Baeza had an impressive run in finishing third at the Kentucky Derby and Bob Baffert’s Rodriguez figured to be a factor heading into the Kentucky Derby before a foot injury. Multiple horses could disrupt Sovereignty’s chances at completing the rare Kentucky Derby-Belmont Stakes double.
Sovereignty finished fourth at Saratoga Race Course in his debut and he’s winless in New York with a second-place result at Aqueduct Racetrack in September. Bill Mott has had Sovereignty preparing in Saratoga since the Kentucky Derby victory, but still, his New York struggles are a concern with paying a steep price on Sovereignty at 2-1 odds. See which other 2025 Belmont Stakes horses to avoid at SportsLine.
How to make 2025 Belmont Stakes picks
Yu’s top pick is a horse who “has never looked better training.” She also is high on a double-digit longshot to “grind out” a top-two finish. She is including this horse in her 2025 Belmont Stakes bets, and so should you. She’s sharing which 2025 Belmont Stakes horses to back at SportsLine.
So who wins the 2025 Belmont Stakes, what double-digit longshot is a must-back, and how has Yu constructed her wagers? Visit SportsLine to see Yu’s picks for the Belmont Stakes, all from the racing insider who just nailed the Kentucky Derby exacta, and find out.
