2010 Belmont Stakes Odds

Adam Sparks
Hall of Fame trainer Nick Zito has to like his odds for the 2010 Belmont Stakes.

The final leg of horse racing's Triple Crown is set for Saturday, June 5 at the 1.5-mile track at Belmont Park, and Zito has a couple of contenders in the 12-horse field.

With Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver and Preakness champion Lookin at Lucky out of the field, Zito's Ice Box was installed as the 3-1 morning-line favorite to win the Belmont.

Ice box finished second at the Derby, and Zito's other entrant is Fly Down, the third favorite at 9-2. Fly Down, who ran away with the victory at the Dwyer in May, will start from the No. 5 post, while Ice Box will be right next door at No. 6.

Here is the complete field and morning-line odds for the 2010 Belmont Stakes:
