The Triple Crown begins on Saturday, June 20 with the 152nd running of the Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y.
If you're looking to bet on the Belmont Stakes, look no further than TVG, which has a limited-time offer for new customers in the 31 states where horse racing is legal: Bet $300, Lose Nothing.
That's right, if you sign up for a new TVG account, your first win-bet on a horse is 100% risk-free, up to $300. That means if you bet on a horse to win and it doesn't come in first, you get your $300 refunded in the form of free bets. You can withdraw whatever you turn those bonus funds into.
If you’re new to betting on the ponies and are unsure of the best way to take advantage of this limited-time $300 promotion, our horse racing expert Mike Conti has a horse he likes at a good price in the Belmont Stakes:
After one try early in his two-year-old season right here at Belmont last year, No. 9 Dr. Post went to the sidelines for eight months so that he could continue to grow and mature.
Dr. Post was back in action in March, winning at first asking at Gulfstream and posting a 96 Beyer Speed Figure. Trainer Todd Pletcher stretched him out in his next start, where Dr. Post won against non-graded stakes company at Gulfstream.
The latter race showed how talented Dr. Post really is, as he had nowhere to go and was stuck between horses in the stretch, but once he had daylight he had a swift kick that got him home first.
This is clearly a step up in class for Dr. Post, but Pletcher has three Belmont Stakes wins to his name, and jockey Irad Oritz Jr. has won 14 of 46 mounts during this Belmont meet.
Look for Dr. Post to be just off the pace with Tiz the Law. Whoever has the bigger kick from there will win, and with Dr. Post coming into the prime of his three-year-old form compared to Tiz the Law, Dr. Post has a chance to prevail.
[Bet No. 9 Dr. Post to win at TVG 100% risk-free up to $300.]
Using this bet as an example … If No. 9 Dr. Post wins at 5-1 odds and you put the full $300 on him, you'd profit $1,500 and be able to withdraw any portion of those winnings, plus your original stake, whenever you want.
Simply put, this is far and away the best new-customer horse racing offer for those of you looking to get into the ponies, but it's only running for a limited time, so be sure to act fast. Good luck!
