Betting the 2011 Belmont Stakes

2011 Belmont Stakes Betting by Arthur Bodley

Betting on Belmont Stakes is something every horseracing fan is looking forward to in the coming weeks. Belmont Stakes is the longest and most demanding leg of the Triple Crown Series. Winners of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes join other top contenders in the 1.5 mile race. Betting on Belmont Stakes is one of the hardest races to handicap because of the distance; so pick a horse that has proven it can go the distance. Also, when betting on Belmont Stakes, pay close attention to the horses' recent performances. You are more likely to win if the horse you pick is in top condition.

The Belmont Stakes is a race for thoroughbred horses that are 3 years old. Colts and geldings carry a weight of 126 pounds, while fillies carry 121 pounds. The Belmont stakes is also called the "Run for the Carnations" because a blanket of white carnations is draped over the winner's neck. There is a $1 million dollar purse and a trophy also awarded. Betting on Belmont Stakes began with its inception in 1867.

When betting on Belmont Stakes, it is important to remember a few good rules...If betting straight, restrict your bets to win and show only. Win means your horse finishes 1st, show means your horse comes in 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Bet horses you like with odds of 5-1 or greater to win, and 5-1 or less to place. Place is a wager on a horse that comes in 1st or 2nd. There will be thousands of people betting on Belmont Stakes. Some horses will be backed heavily by touting services and computer handicappers. These horses may win more, but since so many bet on them, the payout is less. Try to find the "dark horse," that is not overly backed but still has a good shot at winning.
