Unfortunately, there won't be a Triple Crown to cheer for after Always Dreaming won the Kentucky Derby and Cloud Computing won the Preakness. In fact, you won't even be able to cheer for Always Dreaming or Cloud Computing as neither will run in the Belmont.
Still, bettors will have a lot at stake at the 149th running of the Belmont, even if there's not a Triple Crown on the line.
Without Cloud Computing or Always Dreaming in the field, Classic Empire was the clear favorite to win the 2017 Belmont at 2-to-1 odds until he withdrew Wednesday with an abscess in one foot. Now, it's a wide-open field with Irish War Cry as the defacto favorite.
Here are the full odds to win the 2017 Belmont, according to Sportsbook.ag. Post time is set for 6:37 p.m. ET.
