SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. \u2014 Kentucky Derby runner-up Renegade opened as the 2-1 favorite for the the 158th Belmont Stakes when post positions were drawn Monday for the third leg of the Triple Crown.<\/p>\n

Renegade drew post position No. 4 and is set to be ridden by\u00a0Irad Ortiz Jr. The Todd Pletcher-trained horse is coming off finishing second by a neck in the Derby to\u00a0Cherie DeVaux-trained Golden Tempo,\u00a0who opened as the 9-2 third choice. Golden Tempo will start on the outside Saturday after drawing the No. 9 post in the nine-horse field.<\/p>\n

DeVaux made history as the first woman to train a Derby winner. She returns to Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York, where she was born and spent some of her early career looking to win two Triple Crown races in the same year.<\/p>\n

Golden Tempo, with Jose Ortiz set to be aboard, is running for the first time after DeVaux and owners decided not to run him in\u00a0the Preakness Stakes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe field can go out ahead of him, and he\u2019ll just find himself in the back of the pack early in the race,\u201d DeVaux said.<\/p>\n

Bill Mott\u2019s Chief Wallabee was the second choice at 3-1 after being fourth in the Derby and will start the race out of the No. 3 post. Mott won the Derby and the Belmont with Sovereignty last year. Jockey Junior Alvarado will look to bring Mott another Belmont win.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur horse seems to be doing well,\u201d Mott said. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t seem to have taken a step backwards since the Derby. It seems like he\u2019s been on an upwards progression.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rematch of Golden Tempo and Renegade highlights the third and final Belmont at Saratoga. It has taken place at the historic track in upstate New York while Belmont Park is undergoing a full reconstruction.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

New York-based trainer Chad Brown has the most horses entered in the race, headlined by Derby 10th-place finisher Emerging Market, who opened at 6-1 with Flavien Prat lined up to ride. Brown, who has never won the Belmont, also has Ottinho (20-1) and Growth Equity (12-1).<\/p>\n

\u201cHe hasn\u2019t taken a step back from the Derby,\u201d Brown said on Emerging Market. \u201cIt was kind of a rough race for him. He came out of there in one piece, and we got him up here a few days after and he\u2019s been doing really well.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rest of the nine-horse field includes Brad Cox\u2019s Commandment (6-1), Doug O\u2019Neill\u2019s longshot Vitruvian Man (30-1), and Pletcher\u2019s second horse, Powershift (12-1).<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s field doesn\u2019t include any horses that ran in the Preakness, including winner Napoleon Solo.<\/p>\n
