Top 2024 Belmont Stakes predictions
One of Demling's surprising 2024 Belmont Stakes picks: He is high on Antiquarian, even though he's a 12-1 longshot. The son of Preservationist and Istan mare Lifetime Memory has just four career starts under his belt, but he has won two of them. His biggest victory occurred May 11 at the Peter Pan Stakes, which is seen as a big stepping stone for the Belmont Stakes.
One blip on Antiquarian's short career is a sixth-place finish at the Louisiana Derby on March 23, although reports surfaced the three-year-old was anxious ahead of the race. He should be in good hands at the Belmont Stakes however with veteran jockey John Velazquez, who has two Belmont Stakes wins under his belt. See which other horses to back at SportsLine .
