Do you like to watch workouts? You’re in luck as NYRA and Churchill Downs have been posting Belmont Stakes contender workouts. We will continue to add to this list as they become available at YouTube.

We’ve noted if the video is of an official work or a maintenance gallop and included the published time for official works. We’ve also linked to observations about the works and included tweets from professional clockers where available.

If you’re not familiar with workouts, be sure to check our primer, You Better Work.

Happy workout watching!

Carpe Diem lugging out entire way, and this isn't something new, Madefromlucky is a trier, style wise he can't keep up with 'Diem in AM.
