Unlocking Value with Trifecta Betting Picks for the Belmont Stakes | MyBookie Horse Racing Betting Preview for the 3rd Leg of the Triple Crown
On Saturday, June 8, the final Triple Crown race of the year happens when Sierra Leone steps into the starting gate to resume his rivalry with Mystik Dan.
Kenny McPeek, Mystik Dan’s trainer, has said he won’t run both Thorpedo Anna and Dan in the Belmont Stakes. Either way, Sierra Leone is a go.
Is the Chad Brown runner, the key horse for this year’s Belmont Stakes trifecta?
Trifecta Picks
Key Horse: Mindframe +400
The Todd Pletcher trained runner has crushed it in 2 lifetime races. Mindframe, a 3 year old sired by Constitution and out of a Street Sense sired broodmare, Walk of Stars, won the maiden by 10 lengths.
Then in his second race, Mindframe absolutely pummeled his competition at Churchill Downs, winning a 1 1/16miles race.
The Pletcher runner has proven he can rate nicely behind front runners, something Fierceness hasn’t proven, and burst away with an electric turn of foot.
Give Mindframe a serious chance of taking it to his rivals and warrants consideration as the key horse in this year’s Belmont Stakes.
Second Slot: Sierra Leone, Seize the Grey, Mystik Dan/Thorpedo Anna, Batten Down
Seize the Grey is turning into one of the best 3 year olds in North America. The Preakness Stakes winner won the Pat Day Mile on Derby Day.
Not only that but Seize the Grey doesn’t need the lead to win and when Mystik Dan ran up top his outside in the Preakness, the Lukas runner turned back the Derby winner, which means he’s got a lot of fight in him.
It’s impossible not to use Seirra Leone in the second slot.
The Chad Brown trainee probably should have the Kentucky Derby, losing by a nose to Mystik Dan. Not only that, but Brown has pointed to the Belmont since the Derby and Leone is possibly the best bred horse in the race.
No matter if McPeek saddles Mystik Dan or Thorpedo Anna, using either in the second slot will be a wise move. Kentucky Oaks winner Thorpedo Anna has the right style to win the Belmont.
She could pull a Rags to Riches. Mystik Dan has shown no signs of slowing down. So it’s a question of which one McPeek decides to send to the starting gate.
If Bill Mott runs Batten Down, the horse is a must use. Juddmonte Farms bred the son of Tapit. Batten Down put it all together in the last and the odds should be fantastic.
Like Mindframe, Batten Down is putting it all together at he right time.
Third Slot: All
This is the type of race where we want to go all in the final slot. Underdogs like Batten Down, Honor Marie, and The Wine Steward could pick up the pieces and finish third if the pace is hot.
How to Bet the 2024 Belmont Stakes Trifecta
Make three trifecta bets. Use Mindframe in the win slot, the second slot and the third slot in all three bets.
Make the second slot horses first in your second and third trifecta bets.
That way our key horse is first in the first trifecta bet, second in the second trifecta bet, and third in the third trifecta bet.
Go All third in the first and second trifecta bets and All second in the third trifecta bet where Mindframe is keyed to finish third.
