How to watch the 2017 Belmont Stakes: Start time, livestream and odds

The 149th running of the Belmont Stakes will be Saturday, June 10, with no clear candidate to take the race.

The $1.5 million Belmont Stakes will be broadcast live from Belmont Park, New York. The race is down to 11 horses after Epicharis was scratched when a veterinarian exam revealed continued inflammation in the colt's front right hoof.

Coverage of the 1.5-mile race will begin at 3 p.m. ET on NBC Sports, and then will move over to NBC at 5 p.m. ET. Post time is scheduled at 6:37 p.m. ET. It will be livestreamed on NBC Sports Live.
