Arcangelo Preview & Analysis
The #3 position at the Belmont Stakes went to Jena Antonucci-trained Arcangelo. Arcangelo is listed at 8-1 to win the Belmont.
Arcangelo has made three starts this year, finishing in the money twice with two first-place finishes. In his career, Arcangelo has finished first twice and second once in four starts.
This will be Arcangelo’s first start in a Triple Crown race. Trainer Antonucci has just two career-graded stakes wins in her career. Jockey Javier Castellano will ride Arcangelo coming off his own win while riding Mage in the Kentucky Derby.
Castellano has won 46% of his mounts this year overall. With a solid position and a quality jockey, Arcangelo has a chance to earn Antonucci her first Triple Crown win
Can Arcangelo win the Belmont Stakes?
If he keeps improving as fast as he seems to be, he could light up the tote board at 8-1. Another with a perfect running style for the Belmont Stakes. He likes to sit mid pack and make a bold move in the stretch.
He has already won a big race this exact way in the Peter Pan Stakes, right here at Belmont Park on May 13. Javier Castellano is trying to pull off a rare feat, winning both the Derby and the Belmont, but on different horses.
