The final leg of the American Triple Crown – and by some distance the longest – the 1.5-mile Belmont Stakes is widely known as "The Test of the Champion". One of the main contenders under examination at this year's race is Rich Strike, who pulled off one of the biggest upsets in history last month. Eight thoroughbreds are one Belmont Park-sized lap away from glory. Read on as we explain how to watch a 2022 Belmont Stakes live stream from anywhere in the world.

Rich Strike, the last-minute addition to a loaded Kentucky Derby field whose jaw-dropping 80-1 victory literally knocked trainer Eric Reed off his feet, is America's new favorite son. According to Reed, Belmont is the one they've been preparing for, but there's no getting away from the big question. Was it just a fluke?
Stablemates Nest and Mo Donegal were at Churchill Downs on the day of Richie's triumph, indeed, Todd Pletcher's entry had one of the best views of the action, having finished fifth in the same race. The extra two furlongs should work in Mo Donegal's favor, and the same goes for Nest, who could become the fourth filly to the win the Belmont Stakes, and the first since Pletcher-trained Rags to Riches in 2007.
But the out and out favorite is We The People, from the Rodolphe Brisset stable. He dominated the Peter Pan Stakes here a month ago, leading the field from gate to wire, but can he keep up the pace over an additional three furlongs?
