Justify is yet to taste defeat in his career and will head to Belmont as the favourite after scooping the first two legs of the Triple Crown.

He has looked in pretty good shape ahead of the big race, per BloodHorse:

Trainer Bob Baffert knows exactly what it takes to win the Triple Crown, as he has done it before with American Pharoah.

Another Triple Crown win would make him only the second trainer in history to achieve the feat, per Thoroughbred Insider:

Justify will face stiff competition at Belmont Park, not least from Bravazo, who finished sixth at Churchill Downs and second at Preakness. 

Trainer D. Wayne Lukas offered his view of the race, per Jason Frakes at the Louisville Courier Journal (h/t USA Today): "We've got a nice horse, and we'll make it interesting. I said that before the Preakness, and we made it real interesting."

Lukas also explained what should happen if Baffert does win a second Triple Crown:

Justify will face the toughest challenge of his young career at Belmont Stakes on Saturday. He's managed to cope with everything that's been put in front of him so far, and one more win will see him write his name into the history books.
