Belmont Stakes 2017: Post time

Taking a look to see what the 2017 Belmont Stakes post time is as horses, trainers, jockeys and owners alike look to end Triple Crown season

Quite frankly, it’s been a bit of an unfortunate year in terms of horse racing and the Triple Crown races. Without question, it started off with a bang, but it has sense died down tremendously. Now we’re left coming into the 2017 Belmont Stakes with very little excitement. However, once the Belmont Stakes post time hits, that’s almost surely going to change.

The reason that the buzz has died a bit early on, though, has been the winners. At the Kentucky Derby, Always Dreaming won a muddy and strange race that left everyone in a field where any horse could win. The horse followed that up with an absolute dud at the Preakness while Cloud Computing came out of nowhere to pull off the longshot victory.

Now we come to the 2017 Belmont Stakes and neither Always Dreaming or Cloud Computing are going to be present in the field. It’s such a strange thing for that to be the case. There have been times where we don’t have a shot a Triple Crown winner, surely. However, it’s not that often that we don’t have a horse that could even possible win a double in the races this year.

With that said, the length of the Stakes and the end of the major races is always quite exciting. As such, people and fans are still looking forward to the horses taking their posts. Subsequently, the question is being asked, when is post time for the 2017 Belmont Stakes?
