2009 Belmont Stakes: Updated Odds

The 141st running of the Belmont Stakes takes place today, June 6th, 2009 at 6:30 PM EST in Belmont Park in Elmont New York.  The race has been nicknamed the “Test of the Champion”, and rightfully so as it is considered the most demanding leg of the Triple Crown.  It is the longest race in the series, coming in at 1 1/2 miles total.  The current crop of 3-year-olds will have to show good stamina, and it’s safe to say only a few will be up to the challenge of such a lengthy race. ... 

Belmont Stakes Picks 2009

The third and final leg of the Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes is upon us tonight.  Let’s take a look at a few solid bets you could make on this year’s big race.  Unfortunately, there is no Triple Crown contender this year after Mine That Bird came up short in the Preakness.  Nevertheless, this is still one of horse racing’s biggest events with some of the best horses in the world competing.

2009 Belmont Stakes Predictions

We are just a couple days away from the 141st running of the Belmont Stakes. The race is scheduled for Saturday afternoon and will be televised on ABC nation wide. Some excitement will be missing at this race, as Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird was unable to keep the triple crown hopes alive with a win at the Preakness. The race will also be without Preakness winner Rachel Alexander, who decided against running this weekend at the Belmont Stakes. While no horse has a shot at the elusive triple... 

2009 Preakness Stakes Results

Another Triple Crown event is in the books and what a solid second leg it was.  The filly Rachel Alexandra brought the Preakness Stakes home with a winning time of 1 minute 55 seconds.  This horse was the favorite coming in with many books listing her as the 1/2 favorite, meaning you would have to bet $200 to net $100.  Will Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird get a rematch at the Belmont?  It’s too early to tell as the owners and trainer of Rachel Alexandra have yet to make a decision... 

2009 Preakness Stakes: Updated Odds Saturday

With the 134th running of the Preakness Stakes slated for tonight, let’s take a look at the updated odds on each horse.  Filly, Rachel Alexandra remains a modest favorite to win the 2009 Preakness.  Her payout is listed at 8/5, just over even odds over the rest of the field.  Kentucky Derby winner, Mine That Bird is still listed rather modestly at 6/1 odds.  The other favorites Saturday are Pioneerof The Nile, who finished 2nd in this year’s Kentucky Derby, at 5/1, and Friesan Fire,... 

2009 Preakness Stakes Picks

The Top Contenders: Rachel Alexandra was incredibly impressive in the Kentucky Oaks the day before the Kentucky Derby.  She was so impressive that she is likely to be the favorite on Saturday to knock off Mine That Bird, the 50-1 underdog what won the Kentucky Derby this year.  The three horses that came in after Mine That Bird in the Kentucky Derby are all running in this year’s Preakness as well.  Pioneerof The Nile, Musket Man, and Papa Clem all finished over 6 lengths behind the winner,... 

Preakness Stakes 2009: Pioneerof The Nile Preview & Predictions

Pioneerof the Nile placed 2nd in the 2009 Kentucky Derby behind Mine That Bird, but this Saturday he will look to Pimlico Race Course for a rematch in the 134th running of the Preakness Stakes.  Pioneerof The Nile drew the 2nd post position for the Preakness, where he was out of the 16th spot in the Derby.  This is a very polarizing horse.  Many think he should be the favorite, while others have expressed their concerns that the wet track in the Kentucky Derby worked to his advantage, and that...
