Trainer Bob Baffert is ready for Belmont Stakes day with two horses, National Treasure and Arabian Lion, but scratches Fort Bragg due to a fever. National Treasure is 5-1 on the morning line to win the Belmont and become the first horse since 2018 Triple Crown winner Justify to win back-to-back classics. Arabian Lion has 4-1 odds to win the Woody Stephens (G1). Baffert is confident in his horses but acknowledges the competition from other top jockeys.

Bob Baffert's National Treasure: From Preakness Win to Tragic Loss.

Bob Baffert is considering running National Treasure and Arabian Lion in the Belmont Stakes after their front-running victories in the Preakness Stakes and Sir Barton, respectively. Baffert is leaning towards stretching National Treasure from the 1 3/16 miles of the Preakness to the 1 1/2 of the Belmont on June 10. Arabian Lion and Reincarnate, a Grade 3 winner who is back at Santa Anita, also might be considered for the last of the 2023 classics.
