In a span of two races Mine That Bird has gone from a 50-1 afterthought to the favorite in Belmont Stakes odds.
Mine That Bird is definitely the people’s choice in Belmont Stakes betting but he is not the wiseguy’s choice. That honor belongs to Charitable Man who is getting a lot of respect at Belmont Park.
Mr. Hot Stuff, a sire of double Breeder’s Cup Classic winner Tinzow, is also the full brother of Colonel John who won the 2008 Santa Anita Derby. Owned by Win Star Farm and trained by Eoin Harty, Mr. Hot Stuff will have Hall of Fame jockey Edgar Prado aboard for 2009 Belmont Stakes odds.
Prado has won in Belmont odds with Sarava in 2002 and Birdstone in 2004.
One of the interesting longshots on Saturday in Belmont Stakes odds is Jenny Craig’s horse Chocolate Candy.
With Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer and superstar jockey Garrett Gomez there is a lot to like about Chocolate Candy in Belmont Stakes betting.
Hollendorfer is the best trainer never to have won a Triple Crown race. Most of his horses are in Northern California and Hollendorfer has not had a lot of chances in big races. He has won almost 5,400 races in his career, 377 of them stakes victories.
Hollendorfer is simply a legend in the Bay Area as he won every single training title from 1986 to 2008.
Only two horses will have run in all three Triple Crown races this year.
Belmont Stakes odds favorite Mine That Bird is getting all the attention while the other horse, Flying Private is going under the radar.
Flying Private was listed in early 2009 Belmont Stakes odds at 20-1 but has come down slightly to 15 or even 12 to 1 at most online horse betting sites.
It is hard to ever have a D. Wayne Lukas horse go under the radar in Belmont Stakes betting but that is the case with Flying Private.
One of the betting longshots in 2009 Belmont Stakes odds for the 141st Running of the Carnations on Saturday is Brave Victory at 20-1.
It’s hard to place a longshot bet on the three-year-old sire of Lion Heart owned by Robert V. LaPenta who did not run in the Kentucky Derby or the Preakness but did have a show in the Peter Pan Stakes.
As Calvin Borel makes headlines during the 2009 Belmont Stakes going for the jockey Triple Crown, another famous name will be quietly entering his betting longshot hoping to make some noise.
The 141st running of the Belmont Stakes is Saturday with Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird the 2-1 morning line horse betting favorite.
A total of 10 horses will go to the post on Saturday, three of which have single-digit odds in Belmont Stakes odds. Mine That Bird is the favorite at 2-1 followed by Charitable Man at 3-1 and Dunkirk at 4-1.
The public and the media may be slobbering over Mine That Bird in Belmont Stakes betting with his chances of winning the 141st running of the Belmont on Saturday but the wise guys are all over Charitable Man.
Trainer D. Wayne Lukas has won in Belmont Stakes betting a total of four times and he tries for a fifth on Saturday with two longshots, Flying Private and Luv Gov.
Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird is the 2-1 morning line favorite for the 141st running of Belmont Stakes odds on Saturday with a post time of 6:27pm.
Another betting longshot in 2009 Belmont Stakes odds is Mr. Hot Stuff who will enter the post with stakes odds around 18/1.
Only two horses will have run in all three Triple Crown races this year.
