2024 Belmont Stakes Props to Bet On | MyBookie Horse Racing Betting Preview for the 3rd Leg of the Triple Crown

Sierra Leone vs Mystik Dan

The head-to-head rematch between Sierra Leone and Mystik Dan is the one at the top of the list. Kenny McPeek hasn’t said whether Mystik Dan will run in the Belmont or wait for the Grade 1 Haskell Invitational. Dan might run in both.

If Dan does enter the starting gate, this is the head-to-head to consider. Mystik Dan beat Sierra Leone by a nose in the Kentucky Derby.

So think of this as the ultimate H-2-H matchup in the Belmont.

Fierceness vs Seize the Grey

The two most talented front runners in the race should knock heads as soon as the gates open. Which horse folds first? Fierceness or Seize the Grey.

Our money will be on Seize the Grey to run Fierceness in the ground should the H-2-H emerge as a prop bet.

Then again, Fierceness may have matured and if he did, he’s still the fastest horse of this generation.

Antiquarian vs Mindframe

The Pletcher head-to-head matchup would be an intriguing option. Todd Pletcher trains both and both head to the Belmont off victories.

Antiquarian won the Grade 2 Peter Pan Stakes while Mindframe recently broke his maiden. Because Pletcher trains both, we know they will both be ready to shock the world.

Who wins in the H-2-H? We must wait and see.  

Top to Finish in the Top Three Belmont Stakes Prop Bets

Seize the Grey to finish in the top three

D. Wayne Lukas’ front running Preakness Stakes winner has the ability to lead the field gate to wire. The key will be if Fierceness goes.

If Fierceness runs in the Belmont, Seize the Grey will have to rate behind the Pletcher equine. No matter.

That might be the way for Seize the Grey to score a second straight Triple Crown classic race upset.

Batten Down to finish in the top three

The Bill Mott trained horse recently broke the maiden. Batten Down, no doubt, will be the most regally bred runner in the race. Also, the maiden score was by a ridiculous margin.

So we should expect Batten Down to improve off the score. 

Mindframe to finish in the top three

Pletcher wouldn’t consider running Mindframe in the Belmont Stakes unless he genuinely believed the horse had a shot. Mindframe is a maiden winner and that’s it.

Todd doesn’t mess around. There are plenty of high purses to consider racing for in the summer.

So if Todd believes Mindframe can finish in the top three, so should we.
