Belmont Stakes Raceday

It’s Belmont Stakes raceday finally! The day we all have been waiting for, well at least most of us anyways, has finally arrived and many bettors are climbing over themselves to place their last minute bets. Betting volume at both the TwinSpires Racebook and Bovada Racebook is much higher today than in previous Belmont Stakes races. Many insiders originally said this was due to the fact that I’ll Have Another had a legitimate shot at winning the Triple Crown, but even with the news of his retirement, the bets are still coming in online at record highs. So even with I’ll Have Another not racing today, why are so many people betting on this year’s Belmont Stakes in comparison to previous years?
