Using History as a Guide to Analyzing the 2022 Belmont Stakes
Description:
After five weeks of twists and turns, excitement and anticipation, the three-race Triple Crown series concludes Saturday, June 11 with the $1.5 million, Grade 1 Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets at Belmont Park.
Held at the testing distance of 1 1/2 miles, the Belmont Stakes is one of the most challenging Grade 1 races to handicap each year. It’s not uncommon for longshots to visit the winner’s circle, and the betting payoffs can be massive. When 24.75-1 longshot Ruler On Ice led a group of unheralded runners across the finish line in 2011, the $2 superfecta returned $74,052.
