2025 Belmont Stakes morning-line odds, picks, post time: Bets from expert with a history of Triple Crown success

Preakness Stakes winner Journalism will get a chance to turn the tables on Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty when the starting gate opens in the 2025 Belmont Stakes on Saturday at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Last month at the Derby, Sovereignty passed Journalism in the stretch to win the first leg of the Triple Crown. Two weeks later in the Preakness Stakes, Journalism overcame massive traffic trouble down the lane en route to one of the most remarkable wins in Triple Crown history. But Sovereignty was not in the race. For Saturday, Journalism has been installed as the 8-5 morning-line favorite in the Belmont Stakes odds, slightly ahead of Sovereignty (2-1). Baeza (4-1), Rodriguez (6-1) and Hill Road (10-1) round out the top five favorites among the eight 2025 Belmont Stakes horses. Post time for the $2 million Belmont Stakes 2025 is 7:04 p.m. ET.

With several talented but inexperienced 3-year-olds entering the starting gate on Saturday, you NEED to see what CBS Sports analyst Tim Doyle has to say before making any 2025 Belmont Stakes picks. Join SportsLine here to get his full breakdown.

Doyle is an experienced horse bettor, having lived less than 20 miles from both Belmont Park and Aqueduct Racetrack in New York. He prefers to play multirace wagers, from doubles to Pick 6s. And in 2020, he had the biggest score of his life, hitting a $150,000 Pick 5 at Oaklawn Park.

During the 2023 Triple Crown, Doyle was on fire. He correctly called 15-1 longshot Mage to win the Kentucky Derby and 8-1 longshot Arcangelo to win the Belmont Stakes. Anyone who has followed him is way up. Join SportsLine here to see what he's picking for the Belmont Stakes.

For Saturday, Doyle has handicapped the 2025 Belmont Stakes field, made his picks and constructed his bets.

One surprise: Doyle is completely fading Journalism, even though he is the 8-5 favorite. "I just wonder if this horse is a bit tired after this very intense stretch of races," Doyle told SportsLine. Doyle will not be using Journalism in any of his wagers. See whom else to pick and avoid here.

Instead of playing Journalism, Doyle's top pick is a longshot whose trainer is "so good in these big races." He also says to "look out" for a double-digit longshot who could finish in the exacta. Doyle is including these horses in his 2025 Belmont Stakes bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY NEED to see his picks before locking in any of your own.

Who wins the Belmont Stakes? Which double-digit longshot is a must-back? And how has Doyle constructed his wagers? ... Join SportsLine right now to get Tim Doyle's 2025 Belmont Stakes picks, all from the analyst with a history of Triple Crown success!
