Rombauer would offer a payout potential of $300 on every $100 bet with a win at the Belmont Stakes. He comes into this race as the winner of the Preakness Stakes.
Rombauer was the 3rd place finisher at the Grade 2 Blue Grass and won the El Camino Real Derby back in February.
Despite his Preakness win, Rombauer is getting very little in the way of any love.
CBS Horse racing expert Jody Deming writes:
One surprise: Demling doesn't have Preakness winner Rombauer winning the third leg of the Triple Crown. Rombauer had rest to his advantage at the Preakness as he was coming off a six-week break. His biggest rival, Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit, had just two weeks of rest. Now the tables have turned as Rombauer enters the 2021 Belmont Stakes after a three-week break, while the four other horses with single-digit odds will be coming off five weeks of rest.
Demling says Rombauer finishes outside the top two at the Belmont Stakes 2021. He cites the jockey change for the horse as a reason why as Flavien Prat isn't riding Rombauer despite just winning the Preakness aboard him. New jockey John Velazquez is the most experienced jockey in the field with 24 previous Belmont starts and two wins. But the other seven jockeys in the field have combined for nearly the same number of starts (23) but twice as many wins (four).
