The Belmont Stakes and Triple Crown historical event anticipation is just about enough to drive a horse bettor over the edge! Emerging, is a Belmont betting odds challenge to rival any previous attempt at the Triple Crown or Belmont Stakes victory ? With this prelude the emerging rivalry is between Big Brown the Triple Crown hopeful and Casino Drive who has been bread with one thing to do, win the Belmont Stakes! Currently the racebook oddsmakers at BetUS.com have Big Brown at -300 to win the Triple Crown. Big Brown has been plagued with a tear in his left front foot; could this provide Casino Drive with the edge to spoil Big Brown's chance at the Triple Crown? According to Big Brown's handlers the effect of the hoof injury is nothing and has been downplayed by the stable. On the contrary most feel as though the Big Brown injury is more serious and will affect his running in the Belmont Stakes. The early Belmont betting odds are showing Casino Drive as a true challenger to spoil Big Browns chances at a Triple Crown victory since Affirmed in 1978.
In 134 years of Triple Crown attempts only eleven have managed to accomplish something Big Brown will attempt to do Saturday, 6:25 PM at Belmont Park. Casino Drive the chestnut colt will attempt to be the spoiler and has all the potential to be. Ridden by Edgar Prado , Edgar has been my secret betting weapon in years past. I have followed Edgar over the past 5 years during the running of the Triple Crown and I'm sure you are aware he has produced some victories upsetting the favorites on a few occasions. A great choice by the Casino Drive stable which makes me smell an upset is brewing. Casino Drive is trained by Kazuo Fujisawa and owned by Japanese business mogul Hidetoshi Yamamoto. Yamamoto purchased Casino Drive for $950,000 at the September yearling sale at Keeneland in 2006 . Casino Drive then went on to win his debut by 11 1/2 lengths as the 1-5 favorite in a maiden race in Japan before being shipped to the U.S. to run in the Peter Pan on May 10 at Belmont Park. Casino Drive won by coming from off the pace to pull clear for a 5 3/4 lengths victory. He performed more like a seasoned thoroughbred than a horse making his second career start in the win. Stay tuned for all the Belmont betting odds and picks previews for the entire Belmont betting field. Oddsmakers at BetUS.com posted the following odds on every possible Triple Crown scenario : Odds that you will pick W, P,S correctly: +13/2 Odds that you take your lunch break to log on to BetUS and place a wager: -1/3 Odds that a horse sired by, or in Big Brown's lineage wins the Triple Crown by 2013: Yes +8/1
No 1/20 Odds that it rains during race: Yes 10/11
No -10/11 Over/under on temperature at race Over 82 degrees: Over: 10/11
