2007 Belmont Stakes Picks & Betting Predictions
June 5, 2008
Check out our 2008 Belmont Stakes Picks!
Larry Cook and his InfoPlays team of horse racing experts will deliver with their 2007 Belmont Stakes picks this Saturday at the 139th running of the race at Belmont Park. If you have been pretty adept in picking prize ponies and are wanting to take action on your own, you will still find some use in our literature on the event as we weigh in with our thoughts in our 2007 Belmont Stakes predictions.
Seven horses will be on the ticket for this Saturday’s race and the books are feeling very strongly about one of those horses making Curlin a 6/5 favorite. Almost even money doesn’t give value hunters much to go after. You’ll want to sign up for our Belmont Stakes picks this Saturday to see if taking the front runner with your win bets could be a trap. We can’t forget that part of the reason it’s so hard to see a horse even win more than one Triple Crown event, especially the last two, is because they can’t maintain their peak physical condition.
The obvious trap that I’ll reveal to all our readers free of charge is Hard Spun at 5/2 odds. This horse has not shown the endurance on longer tracks. We saw how Street Sense came back to punish him in the Kentucky Derby. His third place finish at Pimlico Race Course in the Preakness Stakes on a shorter track that he should have dominated makes me question his physical condition. Don’t waste a win bet on Hard Spun this weekend.
Larry Cook is an established handicapper who makes plays when he feels he the odds in his favor. If he wasn’t confident about his read on the field this weekend, you could expect him to sit this one out. For example, you won’t see us making any serious wagers on the man vs. beast matchup also being run on June 9 th between Chad Johnson and the horse Restore the Roar. We’re pulling for the beast here hoping that it may take a chunk out of Johnson’s ego. If you are looking to get in on this action, Bodog offer odds on this event. If all your straight and exotic bets on the Belmont Stakes aren’t enough to satisfy your needs, this race may be a fun one to throw a little down on.
Bodog also offers props for the Belmont Stakes such as what will the 139th Belmont Stakes Mutual Win pay, how many lengths will the winner of the 139th Belmont Stakes win by, will the winner of the 139th Belmont Stakes complete the race faster than the 02: 27.86 time of Jazil last year, will the 139th Belmont Stakes attendance be higher then 55,000, and what will the winning saddlecloth number of the 139th Belmont Stakes? If you are a serious horse racing insider, you probably already see the possibility of taking advantage of the sportsbooks with several of these soft lines.
