Best Belmont Stakes Exacta Bets for 2025
by Joey House - 6/5/2025

An exacta bet requires you to predict the first two horses to cross the finish line in the exact order—first place and second place. It's a step up in difficulty from a simple win bet, where you only pick the winner, but the rewards can be significantly higher. For example, a $2 exacta bet on the 2024 Belmont Stakes, won by Dornoch at 17-1 odds with Mindframe second, would have paid out handsomely compared to a basic win wager of $3.60 on Dornoch. The challenge lies in nailing the precise 1-2 finish, but the payout reflects the risk, especially in a competitive field like the Belmont's.

Ranking Belmont Stakes Field Entries by Breeding Pedigree
by Trevor Whenham - 6/4/2019

The Belmont Stakes is the longest and toughest challenge that any horse in this race will face in his career. It's a full quarter mile further than the Derby, and even more of a step up from any other race these horses would have run in.

So, the breeding of these horses is as important as any factor when it comes to picking a winner in this race.

by Trevor Whenham - 5/30/2019

Sometimes a trainer is already heading to a race anyway, so he knows it won't cost that much more - in time or effort - to bring a second horse.

Intrepid Heart Odds to win the 2019 Belmont Stakes with Expert Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 5/30/2019

Todd Pletcher returns to the Triple Crown trail after skipping the Preakness - something he typically does unless he has a Derby winner to bring along. He has two horses here this year - a major Derby disappointment in Spinoff, and a very lightly raced colt with regal breeding in Intrepid Heart. It's the latter that we are interested in here. There are a lot of reasons to be skeptical of this colt in the Belmont but also a couple of reasons to be at least a little intrigued. So, can Intrepid Heart pull off the upset and win the Belmont?
