Belmont Trophy
The Belmont Stakes trophy is a Tiffany-made silver bowl, with cover, 18
inches high, 15 inches across and 14 inches at the base. Atop the cover
is a silver figure of Fenian, winner of the third running of the Belmont
Stakes in 1869. The bowl is supported by three horses representing the
three foundation thoroughbreds Eclipse, Herod and Matchem. The trophy, a
solid silver bowl originally crafted by Tiffany's, was presented by the
Belmont family as a perpetual award for the Belmont Stakes in 1926. It
was the trophy August Belmont's Fenian won in 1869 and had remained with
the Belmont family since that time. The winning owner is given the
option of keeping the trophy for the year their horse reigns as Belmont
champion.
Because of its distance and status as the race that can make or break a
Triple Crown champion, the Belmont Stakes has been the venue for some of
the most famous moments in American racing.

Location: Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland
Track: 1-3/16th mile track
Date: May 17, 2008
Televised on: NBC Sports, 4:00 p.m. ET Home of the prestigious $1 million Preakness Stakes, the race that determines whether the
Kentucky Derby winner will have a chance to grab the Triple Crown.

 |
Maryland is the home of Pimlico Racecourse where the second leg of the world-famous thoroughbred Triple Crown races, the Preakness Stakes, are being held every third weekend of May.
| Big
Brown charged to the lead turning for home and then
cruised down the stretch to win the Preakness on
Saturday, still perfect and squarely pointed toward
thoroughbred racing's first Triple Crown in 30 years.
Big Brown might be the
best horse this year in a middling field of
3-year-olds. Or the colt could be remembered as one of
the greatest of all time.

If he wins the Belmont Stakes in
three weeks and claims racing's first Triple Crown in 30 years,
Big Brown must be mentioned with racing royalty such as
Secretariat and Affirmed.

Belmont Stakes Horse Betting Tips
-
Bet only on horses you feel have a good chance of winning.
-
If you don't like a horse, don't bet on it.
-
Give preference to winners. Choose a horse that has won before.
-
Avoid betting on a horse that has just moved up in class.
-
Look for value odds as much as likely winners. If you keep looking for them, you will learn to spot them fairly quickly.
-
Look for a horse that has a fair chance of winning and is not overly backed. This is usually a good value bet in the long run. On odds of say, 10:1, you need to win once in ten attempts to break even. Anything more is net profit. Horses backed heavily by touting services and computer handicappers may win more often, but are usually poor value bets.
-
When the track is slow or heavy, give preference to fast starters. Slow, muddy and heavy track conditions usually favor the horse that takes an early lead.
-
A straight bet is simple, manageable and not too difficult to win. Play it but always weigh up the odds. Avoid favorites and long shots (outsiders) too. Be selective - don't bet on anything or everything.
-
When betting straight, consider betting to win and show, or each-way, if the odds are relatively high.
Belmont Park Betting Basics
The following are some general guidelines followed by many pros which will give you a 'leg up' on many other bettors:
-
1. Be wary of the 'smart money,' bets placed at the last minute by supposedly, those in the know. There isn't much smart money at the tracks.
-
2. Go with your gut feelings. if there's a horse you fancy, by all means bet on that horse. There's no worse feeling than not doing what you felt you should have done, and it working out - without you. And if it doesn't work out, no big deal.
-
3. Pay special attention to fast starters on slow courses. It is more difficult to maneuver on an a muddy, slow or heavy course, and these conditions will favor the horse that takes the early lead.
-
4. Avoid horses moving up in class. They may have looked good against lesser horses, but the move to better competition may reveal different colors.
-
5. Avoid horses that have not raced in the past four weeks. They may be recuperating from illness and the owners are using the race as a tune-up. The winning percentages of long-idled horses are way below average.
-
6. Bet only winners. If you see a horse that has been around but never won a race, why figure that today's race will be any different? Instead, choose a horse that has some background of winning.
-
7. Bet only horses you feel have a good chance of winning. If you had eliminated all the horses you've bet in the past but have not really believed in, you would be sitting with a much higher winning percentage. If you don't like a horse, don't bet on it.
