Island Casino Racebook offers horse betting odds and horse gambling online, and the month of June is just around the corner, so you better be setting it up somewhere near Elmont in New York. On the first Saturday of June every year, better believe that they would rather be nowhere else than Belmont Park to watch the historic last leg of the Triple Crown stakes races: the Belmont Stakes. With a total purse of US$1,000,000, the annual Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park is a Grade 1 stakes race for three year old thoroughbred horses, run at a distance of 1.5 miles (12 furlongs; 2.4 km) on the dirt. Colts and geldings carry 126 pounds (57 kg) while fillies carry 121 pounds (55 kg). As the final race of the Triple Crown, and with a distance that most race contenders find difficult to conquer, the Belmont Stakes is often called the"Test of the Champion". This season, the 2005 running of the Belmont Stakes will take place on June 11.
As the third and final leg of the Triple Crown series of stakes races, the Belmont Stakes is the last remaing
horse race standing in the way of a season's Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes back-to-back winner and the
ever elusive Visa Triple Crown Challenge title. As long-time fans of horse racing events, racing picks,
and betting tips, horse betting odds and horse betting online too, the lucky thoroughbred champ that wins
the year's $2 million Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, $1 million Preakness Stakes at Pimlico race course,
and finally, $1 million Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park is further awarded a whopping $5 million bonus as the
Triple Crown big winner!
