The Belmont Stakes is happening this weekend, and the horses aren't the only stallions we'll be keeping our eyes on. Bring your binoculars because there's plenty of eye candy hiding under those helmets!

Garrett Gomez: The 36-year-old jockey from Tuscon, Ariz., will be showing off his riding skills on Macho Again this Saturday. With over 3,000 career wins under his belt, his bushy eyebrows and chiseled jaw line aren't the only things impressive about Gomez. Perfect for those who love bad boys, Gomez's stunning career was deterred in 2003 when he was arrested for possession of a controlled substance. However, after spending 40 days in jail and some time in rehab, Gomez is back out on the track and ready to ride!

Kent Desormeaux: Big Brown ain't the only one who's big out on the track. This 38-year-old jockey from Maurice, La., is a Hall of Famer and has nearly 5,000 wins tucked away in his jock strap. Born into a Cajun family, Desmormeaux is nothing short of muj caliente!

Edgar Prado: The 40-year-old jockey from Lima, Peru, now resides in Florida and will be riding Casino Drive. Not to be counted short (that was a jockey pun), Prado has won the Belmont Stakes twice – in 2002 and 2004 – while pegged as a long shot both times. If you're a lady who can't get enough of men who aren't afraid to flaunt their soft side, Prado is involved with Belmont Park's Anna House, a child day care center for backstretch workers. Now, everyone in unison say, "Awwwwwww!"

Jeremy Rose: For those that love 'em young and Yankee, Rose will be mounting Icabad Crane on Saturday. With wholesome good looks, the 29-year-old jockey from Bellefonte, Pa., got an early career start when he was voted the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Apprentice Jockey. We'd vote him Outstanding Apprentice Hottie here!

So there you have it: A rundown of the hottest jockeys who will be putting their pint-sized bodies to the test this weekend at the Belmont Stakes! Go for the horses… Stay for the jockeys.
