J Boys Echo Odds to Win the Belmont Stakes, Payout Pontential

J Boys Echo odds of winning the 2017 Belmont Stakes were coming in at 14/1.  These odds are subject to change with live Belmont Stakes odds available here.

The Gotham Stakes winner was a non-factor in his last race, which just happened to be the Kentucky Derby, where he finished 15^th.

Trainer Dale Romans is optimistic his horse can get the job done.

“It's going to be a big field of horses, a lot of good horses,” Romans said of the Belmont. “You might not have the two marquee names out there right now [Derby winner Always Dreaming and Preakness victor Cloud Computing], but you might have some horses who will be marquee names by the fall. I think a lot of people would like to say they were there when that horse had its breakthrough race, so people should show up. A star could be born. Maybe it's J Boy.

“It's a hard race to predict,” he added. “Unless there's a stone-cold standout, it's such an outlier for what horses have done or will do again. It's definitely a great race, and hard to win. Hard to have the right kind of horse.”

Note that the early favorite, Classic Empire, has been scratched from Saturday’s race.
