Trainer Chad Brown aims for his first Belmont Stakes win with Hill Road, who faces tough competition including the top Kentucky Derby finishers. Despite obstacles and a less-than-ideal prep, Brown's horse has shown progress and is a contender in the race, which is part of a busy racing weekend for Brown's stable.
Sierra Leone, trained by Chad Brown, has been named the 9-5 morning-line favorite for the 156th running of the $2 million GI Belmont Stakes, which will be held at Saratoga Race Course due to construction at Belmont Park. The race, featuring a field of 10, includes notable contenders like Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan and Preakness winner Seize the Grey. This year's Belmont will be run at 1 1/4 miles instead of the traditional 1 1/2 miles.
Trainer Chad Brown will attempt to win back-to-back Preakness Stakes with Blazing Stevens in the 2023 Preakness Stakes field. Blazing Stevens is well-rested, having bypassed the Kentucky Derby despite qualifying. Blazing Stevens is 6-1, giving him the third-lowest 2023 Preakness Stakes odds. The favorite, Mage (8-5), and the Baffert-trained National Treasure (4-1) have shorter odds than Blazing Sevens. Elite horse racing handicapper Jody Demling is high on Blazing Sevens, despite the fact that he's outside the top two favorites at 6-1. Demling has also locked in his 2023 Kentucky Derby picks for Mage, the Kentucky Derby winner and 2023 Preakness Stakes favorite.
