2018 Belmont Stakes Undercard Preview PT 1
- By A.J. Ryder on May 23, 2018 15:22 GMTWith an elusive triple crown on the line and one of the most talented colt to America has ever seen coming into the 2018 Belmont Stakes it's worth taking a look at all of the great betting opportunities that will be available that day - a day that very well could go down in history.
There is plenty to like about justify and his ability to pull off this widely-anticipated Victory - which would probably be the second Triple Crown victory of Bob Baffert's career.
The bookmakers continue to list him at a very impressive price and a number of hunters will likely be getting on to him as he appears to be Head and Shoulders above the other members of his generation. His Preakness Victory looked good and according to his jockey, Hall of Famer Mike Smith, he declared that he still had plenty left in the tank and was saving a little bit for Belmont which probably explains why a couple horses were closing on him towards the last steps of the 2018 Preakness Stakes at Pimlico.
While it is still up in the air about who will actually face off against him and take him on as they go forward you have to wonder whether he can truly handle the mile-and-a-half distance and whether the other competitors will run against him as opposed to trying to win the race for themselves.
There is also a lot of really interesting betting opportunities available on the undercard as the New York Racing Association will be putting together a really impressive card contest covering the full day at Belmont Park on June 9th of this year.
