Belmont Stakes Wagering - Jeremy Rose Returns with Icabad Crane

[Shame About Ray]

Online off track betting faithful remember when Jockey Jeremy Rose was on top of the world. In 2005 he was lucky enough to get the mount on a horse named Afleet Alex. Afleet Alex finished third in the Kentucky Derby and won both the Preakness and Belmont Stakes.

Rose never got to ride Afleet Alex again as the horse suffered a career-ending injury and was retired to stud. But Rose does have a chance to ride a horse in the 2008 rendition of the Belmont Stakes. Rose is the regular rider for Icabad Crane.

Icabad Crane, trained by trainer Graham Motion, finished third most recently in Big Brown’s Preakness romp. Even though nobody would ever confuse Icabad Crane with Afleet Alex, Jeremy Rose probably doesn’t care.

Just being able to ride in these Grade I Triple Crown races is good enough for Rose.
