Get in the Race: Here’s The Top 5 Belmont Stakes Horses to Bet on

The 154th run of the Belmont Stakes is less than two months away from culmination, and fans can no longer hold their horses! The excitement of seeing lightning-fast thoroughbreds run through the tracks coupled with the ever-thrilling activity of betting money on its outcome is the thing that truly makes the triple crown race iconic. 

Have you chosen your picks yet?

If not, do your homework and thoroughly look through the horses’ lineup to garner the most generous returns for your wager. Never bet blindly and pick the most viable racehorse based on profile and past races. That said, here are the top 5 Belmont Stakes horses to bet on:

Epicenter

Among the rising colts vying for the triple crown is Epicenter. Foaled in January 2019, Epicenter has had a good run of six races, placing first four times; during the Maiden Special Weight, Gunner Run Stakes, Risen Star Stakes, and Louisiana Derby. Additionally, the steed also ranked second during the Lecomte Stakes.

The recent live odds are here shows that Epicenter’s ample experience and victories will make him a strong pick for the 154th Belmont Stakes. The fact that he is the top favorite to win the Kentucky Derby, one of the three historic thoroughbred races along with Belmont and Preakness, will also better his odds of winning the Belmont. Good returns are eminent for curious bettors!

Zandon

Foaled in March 2019, Zandon has had a high-quality run since his debut. Despite lesser experience on the tracks, the runner has placed in the top three of all his races—third in Risen Star Stakes, second in Remsen Stakes, and first in Blue Grass Stakes. Indeed, the remarkable consistency and growing improvement make him a strong pick for the upcoming Belmont.

Under the expert care of the 2016 Eclipse Awardee for outstanding horse training Chad Brown, Zandon is up for great success in the 154th Belmont Stakes. His pedigree runs natural talent, versatility, incredible speed, and maturity. And when subject to the guidance of an excellent trainer, his array of natural abilities shall bloom into future victories.

White Abarrio

Get in the race and maximize your returns by betting on two-time champion White Abarrio for the Belmont Stakes. Finishing all his three races in first and third place, White Abarrio is another rising colt contending for the glory of the triple crown. He has competed and placed first in Curlin Florida Derby and Holy Bull Stakes and third in Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes. 

Foaled in March 2019, the gray colt had to overcome many obstacles in his health to achieve a good run. He surmounted an illness, which initially led him to miss workouts and potentially lose Holy Bull Stakes. But with resilience and hunger for victory, he immediately regained his fitness and even aced the race. Tough horses like White Abarrio do not come around easily!

Mo Donegal

Another steed worthy of betting on is the two-time champion Mo Donegal. Like White Abarrio, he had triumphed in all the three races he participated in, placing first two times and third one time. Foaled in April 2019, Mo Donegal has had a remarkable run that is successful and consistent enough to promise good returns for bettors interested in a wager.

Trained by seven-time Eclipse Awardee for outstanding horse training Todd Pletcher, it leaves no doubt that Mo Donegal is in the right hands. In fact, Pletcher had brought three thoroughbreds to victory in the Belmont Stakes itself in 2007, 2013, and 2017! The trainer’s capacity will vastly boost Mo Donegal’s odds in the 154th Belmont run.

Tiz the Bomb

The odds for Tiz the Bomb in the Belmont are now dramatically improved by his stellar run in the Jeff Ruby Stakes and John Battaglia Memorial Stakes. Foaled in February 2019, the two-time champion may see yet another successful run in the 154th Belmont Stakes. So if you believe in his talent, speed, and stamina, do not hesitate to stake your money on the bay colt.

Despite an overall unsatisfactory debut, Tiz the Bomb had an incredible leap in his career by placing first in the John Battaglia Memorial Stakes. Currently, he is also one of the top picks for the Kentucky Derby. His marvelous run is proof that no weak start limits one to bounce back stronger than ever. Such an adaptable runner is a strong contender for you to bet on.

Final Thoughts

Racehorses dedicate their lives to the tracks, making them worthy of your wager. Yet, despite their rigorous training and everyday regimes to achieve faster speeds, only one steed shall triumph and give your bets the best possible returns. Thus, look into the profiles of the thoroughbreds above, study the odds, and bet on the swiftest runner on the race tracks!
