Will there be Yet Another Different Winner in Leg 3?
With Mage (15-1) winning the Kentucky Derby and National Treasure (3-1) winning the Preakness Stake (Mage ran 3rd), who will win the 3rd Leg of the Triple Crown Series - the Belmont Stakes?
That is the Big Question!
In 6 of last 7 years there have been a different winner in each Leg of the Triple Crown Series.
The Belmont Stakes has not been a race where the post time favorite does well!
As a matter of fact, it is a race where BIG Longshots can and do win!
(8) of last (15) winners paid $20.00 or more ....
In the last 16 years only 6 favorites were able to finish in the Exacta. They were Mo Donegal (2022-Won), Essential Quality (2021-won), Tiz the Law (2020-Won), Triple Crown winners Justify (2018) and American Pharoah (2015).
In the past 25 years ONLY 7 post time favorites have been able to win the Belmont Stakes.
Did you know that 7 of the last 10 Odds-On Belmont Stakes favorites lost?
That's correct ALL but 3 of them lost! California Chrome (2014) 4/5, Big Brown (2008) 1/5, Smarty Jones (2004) 1/5, Real Quiet (1998) 4/5, Sunday Silence (1989) 4/5, Alysheba (1987) 4/5, Pleasant Colony (1981) 4/5 and Spectacular Bid (1979) 1/5. (they were ALL trying to win the Triple Crown but came up short).
Rember the distance of the Belmont Stakes is 1 1/2 Miles and NONE of the horses have EVER raced at this longer distance before. The Belmont Stakes is 5/16th of a mile longer than the Preakness Stakes and if you do not think that is very much, just measure it off in your car and then walk it ... you will find that it is considerable and certainly more than enough distance for anything to happen in a horse race!
Pedigree will be very important for being able to handle the extra distance of the Belmont. Some horses excel at the longer distances and some can only only handle the middle distance races like in the Preakness Stakes.
Do you know which of the other horses have the pedigree to carry the 1 1/2 Mile distance?
We do and it is a MUST if you want to cash in on the Exacta, Trifecta and Superfecta wagers!
Tapit Sired Belmont Stakes Winners!
The winners were Essentail Quality (2021 - $4.60), Tiz the Law (2020 - $3.60), Tapwrit (2017 - $12.60), Creator (2017 - $34.80) and Tonalist (2014 - $20.40).
X-Chromosome in Belmont Stakes Winners!
We also know which horses have the Pedigree that carry the "X-Chromosome" or "Large-Heart" trait of Secretariat. This "Large-Heart" trait is what allowed him to win the Belmont Stakes by a record 31 lengths!
His heart was more than 3 times larger than the normal horse heart. As a result he was able to burn a lot more oxygen and get a lot more energy and power just like a race car motor does to go faster ...
If you do not know which horses havd the "X-Chromsome", then you nee to get our Belmont Stakes Picks & Wagering Strategy which identifies those horses with this pedigree trait!
Who Will Beat Forte?
There could be as many as (6) "New Shooters" showing up to take on National Treasure and stop him from winning another Leg of the Triple Crown series!
They are well rested and fit. It is critical that you know if their pedigree can handle the Belmont distance of 1 1/2 Miles.
(6) of the last (16) Belmont Stakes winners did not run in the Kentucky Derby or the Preakness Stakes. Eight years ago the 1st and 2nd place runners, Tonalist (9-1) and Commissioner (28-1), did not race in either of the first 2 Legs of the Triple Crown!
Just like in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, the Belmont Stakes also has a Proven Winning Profile of it's own.
Did you know that in the past 44 years ONLY 11 post-time Favorites won?
Did you know that 17 of the last 23 Belmont Stakes winners skipped the Preakness?
Do you know what the preferred running style is for winning the Belmont Stakes?
If you are not sure, then you need to get our Belmont Stakes Picks and Wagering Strategy!
Did you know that 15 of the last 28 Belmont Stakes winners traced their sire's pedigree line back to Raise A Native?
Do you know which of the OTHER horses in this year's Belmont has the Raise A Native sire side pedigree line?
We do ... and so will you when you get our Belmont Stakes Picks and Wagering Strategy!
Our pedigree handicapping methods have picked the Belmont Stakes winner in 9 of the last 21 years as well as the Exacta in 17 of those, the Trifecta in 11 and the Superfecta in 10 of those years!
