2014 Belmont Stakes
2014 Belmont Stakes
The weather at Belmont Park looks simply perfect for a day of racing. The main track is FAST, the turf course is FIRM, and we're ready to witness history, or another Triple Crown disappointment. First post at Belmont is 11:35 am Eastern, an 8:35 am "Breakfast Special" for those of us out here on the West Coast. Today's Belmont Stakes will go to post at 6:52 pm Eastern time with television coverage on NBC, as usual.
Belmont Park Scratches & Changes - June 7th, 2014
Early notable scratches from the stakes portion of the card:
7-Bigger is Bettor is out of Race 3 - G2-Brooklyn
3-Marriedtothemusic; 7-Non Stop are out of Race 4 - G3-Jaipur
3-Dame Marie is out of Race 8 - G1-Just a Game
6-Central Banker is out of Race 9 - G1-Met Mile
Advance wagering on the Belmont Stakes opened on Friday afternoon; with only $64,000 in the win pool, the odds are pretty much useless. But, hey, let's take a look anyway! California Chrome's is now 1/2, right around his ML price. Commanding Curve's odds were cut to 6/1, Wicked Strong drifted up to 8/1, and Tonalist drifted up to 13/1. And all this will change when millions of dollars are wagered into the pool this afternoon. So, yeah.
PP | Horse | Odds |
1 | Medal Count | 21/1 |
2 | California Chrome | 1/2 |
3 | Matterhorn | 59/1 |
4 | Commanding Curve | 6/1 |
5 | Ride On Curlin | 11/1 |
6 | Matuszak | 47/1 |
7 | Samraat | 41/1 |
8 | Commissioner | 43/1 |
9 | Wicked Strong | 8/1 |
10 | General a Rod | 50/1 |
