Journalism, Sovereignty and the rest of the Belmont field will learn their post positions on Monday night.
Eight horses entered the field for the race at Saratoga. Derby entrant Baeza is the most notable horse in the rest of the pack.
Journalism and Sovereignty's duel will take up all the headlines entering the race. The Belmont is expected to settle the debate over which three-year-old horse is better.
Sovereignty won the first showdown at Churchill Downs, but the rematch was delayed a few weeks by the decision to rest the Derby winner instead of chase the Triple Crown.
Journalism came into Triple Crown season as the favorite to potentially join the list of illustrious horses to win all three legs.
Journalism came up just short at the Derby, but shined in a come-from-behind victory at the Preakness.
The best horse with the most impressive string of results is Journalism, who entered the Derby on a four-race winning streak.
A Preakness-Belmont double would still put Journalism in an elite class of horses.
The same can be said about Sovereignty if he pulls off his second win of the Triple Crown season.
Of course, there's always a chance that an upset occurs from the rest of the field, but on paper, Journalism and Sovereignty are in a class above the other six thoroughbreds.
