The biggest Belmont Stakes odds<\/a> news of the weekend: Preakness<\/span> winner Rachel Alexandra isn’t running in the race. The filly’s co-owner Jess Jackson explained that the horse “needs a vacation” after a busy season that included four graded stakes races (all of which she won). What does that mean for the rest of the field? Let’s look at a few horses to consider in Belmont Stakes betting.<\/p>\n

MINE THAT BIRD<\/p>\n

<\/b>The Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes odds favorite from the start just got a whole lot more appealing. Not only does he not have to compete against Rachel Alexandra, he gets his jockey back. Calvin Borel<\/span> rode Mine That Bird in the Kentucky Derby, then<\/span> switched to Rachel Alexandra to win the Preakness<\/span>. Now, he returns to Mine That Bird in his attempt to win the jockey’s Triple Crown. Given Mine That Bird’s style\u2014running off the pace and making a late charge\u2014the Belmont Stakes odds are perfectly suited to him, as the track is the longest of the three Triple Crown races. <\/p>\n

CHARITABLE MAN<\/p>\n

<\/b>Could he be the top alternative pick for anyone lacking confidence in Mine That Bird? His win at Belmont<\/st1:placename> Park<\/st1:placetype><\/st1:place>, which he had a 3 \u00be length score, raised some eyebrows. He may be your horse if you want to swing for the fences in Belmont Stakes betting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

MINER<\/b><\/span>‘S ESCAPE<\/p>\n

Hall-of-Fame owner?<\/span><\/span><\/b> Check. Hall-of-Fame trainer?<\/span> Check. Owner\/trainer tandem won the Belmont Stakes odds<\/a> last year with their horse Da<\/span>‘ Tara<\/st1:place>? Check. Yep, Miner’s Escape is in good hands with Nick Zito<\/span> and Robert V. LaPenta<\/span>. He won his last race, the Frederico<\/span> Tesio<\/span> Stakes, so he makes for an intriguing pick if you’re betting online, as he should offer better value than some of the big faves<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
