Betting on The Belmont

Betting advice on the Belmont Stakes

Everyone I know at the races has a similar problem. Money management! Although we don't like to admit it we all do. This actually comes to be against us when we bet the horse races like the Belmont.

What happens on stakes days is they have so many races it is hard to lay off a race and by the time the big race comes you don't have enough money left to wager properly. Does this sound familiar to you? Odds are if you go to the track enough this has happened to you.

My cousin Pete is a perfect example of this and it happens to him every weekend. He handicaps the big race on the card and he tells me about it when we meet at the track. Of course I take his selections every week as they usually win. I always make sure I have enough set aside for "Pete's Picks" as I call them. Poor Pete usually doesn't have any money left because he was playing all the races and hooking up the favorites in exactas all day.

So when you handicap a race like the Kentucky derby make sure you have enough money for the race. If you are like me and don't care about the odds bet the race as soon as you get to the track.

If you found this page expecting me to select a winner I am sorry about that but I will give you a tip on how to select the right horse at the right time on another post. Right now I am leaning towards Jazil and Steppenwolfer based on the distance of the race.
