Even without I'll Have Another, the show must go on.
The 2012 Belmont Stakes is set for Saturday night in the great state of New York, as horse racing's Triple Crown is set to conclude. Televised coverage of the event is set to begin at 3:00 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Network. Coverage will switch to NBC at 4:30, where it will last until 7. Post time isn't until 6:30 p.m. ET, so if you're looking just to catch the race, tune in a bit before 6:30.
For those who won't be able to get to a television set, NBC Sports' official website will stream the race live online.
