You can bet the Belmont Stakes race online from New York in the comfort of your home at any one of the internationally licensed racebooks, none of which will ever require a social security number.
Of course the Belmont Stakes will take place from the Empire State so you could watch it live from the track…if you happen to live nearby and can bet tickets. New York though is a very big state and Belmont Racetrack is east of New York City in the extreme southeast portion of the state.
New York does have a number of race tracks, but as a large state, much of the population has limited access.
The tracks include Aqueduct, Saratoga, Vernon Downs, Finger Lakes, Belmont and Monticello.
Off Track Betting sites in the state were shut down a few years ago.
In 2010, about 50 parlors around New York City were shuttered. Some 1,000 employees lost their jobs. And a revenue stream that had funneled tens of millions of dollars a year to breeders, track owners and related businesses dried up.
Most of the state’s horse racing venues and its newly opened casinos were expected to host Belmont Stakes viewing parties.
There are advantages to betting at either internationally licensed online racebooks or US-based companies.
