Can I Bet The Belmont Stakes From My State? Texas, North Carolina, Arizona, More

If you are looking to place bets on Saturday’s Belmont Stakes race at one of a handful of US-licensed online race books like TwinSpires.com and TVG, you may not be able to do so. These sites prohibit bets from over a dozen states including the granddaddy of them all, Texas.  A number of International-based websites like BetDSI.com do accept customers from most of these states with some exceptions.

Medal Count Odds to Win the Belmont Stakes: Unproven on Dirt

Medal Count odds to win the 2014 Belmont Stakes were set at 16/1 at AceSportsbook.com.

There’s not a whole lot of value here when one considers Medal Count finished eighth at the Kentucky Derby, a full 7½ lengths behind California Chrome.

Likewise, trainer Dale Romans has never had a horse win in the Belmont Stakes.

Which Horses Can Run the Distance at 2014 Belmont Stakes? Commissioner Can

Saturday’s Belmont Stakes race will be one of the longest any of the slated contenders have ever run.  Handicappers will most certainly be looking for entries that can run the distance.  One of Saturday’s contenders who is bred for distance is none other than Commissioner, coming in at long 45/1 odds at BetDSI.com.

Commissioner was a solid second in the Peter Pan at Belmont, but without a win in any stakes race thus far, oddsmakers have their doubts.

Belmont Stakes Post Positions – 2014: California Chrome Gets Lucky Number 2

The Belmont Stakes post positions are now known for this weekend’s race and California Chrome will be starting from a very good spot at number 2.  This post position has yielded a total of eleven winners in the history of the Belmont Stakes.

And guess what?  That's the same number as 1973 Triple Crown winner Secretariat.

It’s also the same number Big Red drew, though he ran from the rail due to another horse being scratched.  Big Red set unbelievable Belmont Stakes records - 31 lengths and 2:24.

2014 Belmont Stakes Weather Forecast Calling for Plenty of Warm Sun

It’s looking like another sunny day for the third leg of the 2014 Triple Crown and the Belmont Stakes.  No need trying to figure out which of this year’s contenders can be classified as mudders.

Saturday’s race day forecast calls for mostly sunny skies with highs in the low 80’s.

As for even the slightest chance of rain, the weather forecast is calling for zero percent.

California Chrome is preparing to become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed won it in 1978.

NBA Betting Odds – Miami Heat vs. San Antonio Spurs

The NBA Finals begin on Thursday with the San Antonio Spurs favored against the Miami Heat. It is a rematch of last year's finals that was won in seven games by the Miami Heat.

This time around the San Antonio Spurs will have the home court advantage and they are a slight favorite to win the series. It is the first NBA Finals rematch since 1998. It should be a great series as there is no doubt that the two best teams are meeting as the San Antonio Spurs won 62 games this season while the Miami Heat are the two-time defending champions.
