The final leg of the horse racing Triple Crown is finally here. The field for the 2023 Belmont Stakes was drawn on Tuesday, and nine horses are now set to compete for the win on Saturday, June 10.

One contender everyone has their eyes on ahead of this race is Arcangelo, who is a son of Breeders' Cup Classic winner Arrogate. Arcangelo won his stakes debut in the Grade 3 Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont Park in May just ahead of the Belmont Stakes. Here's everything you need to know about this value-odds contender as he vies for the 2023 Belmont Stakes title.

Arcangelo Belmont Stakes Odds and Post Position

Arcangelo Horse Trainer and Jockey

Arcangelo is trained by Jena M. Antonucci, who has only conditioned one stakes runner this year.

Arcangelo's jockey for the 2023 Belmont Stakes is Javier Castellano, who rode longshot Mage to victory in the 2023 Kentucky Derby. The 45-year-old Venezuelan has ridden in the Belmont Stakes 14 times without a win but finished second three times (2016, 2014, 2011).

Arcangelo Race History

Arcangelo is coming off back-to-back wins, including one his last time out at the Grade 3 Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont Park last month.

Arcangelo Belmont Stakes Prediction and Pick

Arcangelo is a win contender that can pull off the upset at longer odds. He's an inclusion in exacta, trifecta and superfecta bets as an improving and maturing colt getting stronger like his sire, superstar Arrogate. Arcangelo lacks some foundation with just four starts (one stakes race), but Kentucky Derby-winning jockey Javier Castellano rides Arcangelo a third time.

This colt is improving and getting hot at the right time coming off his field-best late pace speed figure posted in the Peter Pan. His explosive final ⅛ mile of 11.75 seconds in the Peter Pan with balanced energy during the race suggests he can continue his form progression and strong training despite lacking two-turn race experience. He’ll be running mid-pack in the early going in the proximity of Hit Show and Tapit Trice, but Arcangelo has a bit more late turn of foot than that pair, which will be an advantage given the moderate pace expected.

Arcangelo looks like a live contender offering great value relative to his high Horse Racing Nation Super Screener score.
