Among the 2022 Kentucky Derby runners, winner Rich Strike leads a group of four Derby entrants who are probable for the Belmont Stakes on June 11. Fifth-place finisher Mo Donegal and sixth-place Barber Road are also probable. Ethereal Road, who scratched from the Kentucky Derby but won the Sir Barton on the Preakness undercard, is also probable for the Test of the Champion.
