I'll Have Another is getting ready to gallop his way into the history books with the first Triple Crown title in 34 years. But while all eyes are on the would-be Triple Crown thoroughbred, we're shifting our focus to helping you bet smarter a win at this year's Belmont Stakes.
Here are our top five insider secrets to win at the Belmont Stakes:
#1: The dropped line rule
It's getting close to post time, you notice that the odds for a specific horse are dropping faster than a New York minute, it's time to pay attention. It could be a major sign that those who are in the know are expecting something big out of the horse; when the word out on the backside is that a horse's breeze broke the clock on the training track, professional handicappers tend to bet heavily on that horse and maybe you should as well.
#2: The speed-post improvement secret
Look for a horse that not only showed early speed in his last start, but held his position for the first two calls. If that horse has gotten closer to the rail today (improving his post position), and if it has moved up in class and is at lower odds than his post time odds for the last race, then you might want to shift your focus to that horse.
#3: The lone speed rule
Find the horse that's got the lone speed in a race full of closers and you're golden. And if there are a few speed horses, even better; because these will usually tire out down the homestretch while your horse still is running strong and likely finish up in the money.
#4: The up and down pattern rule
If you find a horse that started strong, then lost a bit of ground, then came back at the end to reclaim or improve his position in its past performances, you might want to keep your eye on this horse because they will often come back to run strong and might be worth betting on. It's likely that he ran into some trouble in the race, but he had enough heart to pull through. Just make sure that he didn't pull through because the competition grew tired.
#5: The talking horse?
Your horse is telling you something. No, they can't speak like Mister Ed, but their body language and demeanor speaks volumes. A calm horse will see his ears twitch in response to noises while an angry horse will pin his ears back on his head and a squirrely horse is nervous and twitchy and ultra-sensitive to touch
You'll want to stay away from a horse with droopy ears. They're tired. Put your money on another horse. The same goes for a horse that has his tail between his legs while being saddled. That means he's likely afraid of something.
Lastly, you'll want to watch how a horse is walking. Bet on horses that have big, athletic walks. That could very well lead to big, healthy payouts.
There you go, 5 insider horse betting strategies to get you to the winner's circle.
