Get Acquainted With Belmont Stakes Fresh Faces | IXGAMES
A slew of not-so-familiar faces will be lining up for the 142nd Belmont Stakes taking place at Belmont Park in Elmont, NY, on Saturday, June 5 as both Super Saver and Lookin at Lucky will not be starting. Get to know some of the new contenders for the final jewel of the Triple Crown. Fly Down is one of two Nick Zito trainees in the hunt for the Belmont Stakes title. Coming off a strong victory in the Dwyer Stakes (G2) on May 8 at Belmont Park, this son of Mineshaft is definitely worth a look. Check out the horse racing odds for Fly Down at Bodog. Changing riders could be the catalyst for a breakthrough performance from the underachieving Drosselmeyer. Kent Desormeaux has been in the irons for the Distorted Humor colt’s last five races but together they have yet to earn a graded stakes title. For the Belmont Stakes, Drosselmeyer will have the services of Mike Smith, a jockey who has won the Kentucky Derby (in 2005) and the Preakness Stakes (1993) but never the Belmont Stakes. Bodog has your Belmont Stakes betting odds on this duo. Gaining momentum is Lone Star Derby (G3) winner Game On Dude, a son of Awesome Again trained by Bob Baffert. He will again be teamed up with Martin Garcia for the Belmont Stakes. Ready for the last Triple Crown race of the year? Make your 2010 Belmont Stakes bets with Bodog Racebook!
