Street Sense`s defeat by Curlin in the last stride of the 2007 Preakness may well have qualified as a great horse race, but the end of another Triple Crown bid (29th failure in a row) will mean a loss in online gambling handle for the Belmont Stakes.
Casual betting interest goes through the roof for the Belmont if there is a live candidate for the Triple Crown. We`ve seen this before in recent years with Charismatic, War Emblem, Funny Cide, and Smarty Jones.
Even though all were bested in the Belmont Stakes it was definitely a boon in past years for online gambling websites like Bodog that offer horse racing wagering.
The short break between races and the fact that horses this young are still improving with each race means that it will take an exceptional and lucky horse to win all three races. I thought Curlin could be that horse before the Kentucky Derby, and now we`ll have to look back and wonder what might have been, because trust me he has way more upside than Street Sense, although both are way ahead of the rest.
Now horse racing will once again retreat to the background in the US sports media, which is a shame. Offshore sportsbooks are still offering fantastic rebates for betting on the nags in the USA regardless of the Triple Crown.
You can get as much as 8% back on your personal handle by betting with these sites. It is definitely way better value then betting at the track or with a site such as Youbet or TVG.
