Does it seem absurd to bet on props in the Belmont Stakes instead of the straight up race? Well, considering we’re wagering on tiny men riding beasts around a track, it shouldn’t. We’re through two legs in the 2010 Triple Crown.
Ready for the 2010 Belmont Stakes from Belmont Park? With the first leg of this year’s Triple Crown, the 136th Kentucky Derby and race 2 (The Preakness) in the books we’re now onto race 3. Here’s the odds and free picks for the top horses in this year’s Belmont Stakes.
It will be déjà vu for jockey Calvin Borel at the 141st running of the Belmont Stakes on Saturday.
Borel could pick up a personal Triple Crown as he jumps back on Mine That Bird, the favorite to win the $1-million, 1.5-mile ‘Test of Champions’ in New York.
Borel rode then-longshot Mine That Bird to victory at the Kentucky Derby, and then switched to the filly Rachel Alexandra for the Preakness Stakes, riding her to the winner’s circle. The filly was not entered in the Belmont Stakes.
