Belmont Stakes Odds: Latest odds on 2009 Belmont Stakes

Just hours separate horse racing fans from the third and final leg of the Triple Crown chase, the 2009 Belmont Stakes, and here we will take a final look at the odds posted on the Belmont Stakes contenders. A few changes have occurred in the Belmont Stakes odds posted by our favorite online sportsbook Bodog Sports, where bettors can enjoy a 100% match up bonus for the 2009 Belmont Stakes, up to $100 plus casino cash. Without further ado let's look at the latest Belmont Stakes odds, as posted by the online bookmaker.

The 2009 Belmont Stakes odds favorite remains the Derby winner Mine That Bird, who is sitting on odds 2/1 to win the race tonight at the Belmont Park. A slight change, considering Mine That Bird (Borel will be the jockey) opened with odds 4/3 to win the 2009 Belmont Stakes just a few days ago at Bodog. The reason the odds on Mine That Bird, starting from gate #7, had changed for the worst in the past couple of days is that bettors are now taking the other two favorite colts. Second best odds to win the 2009 Belmont Stakes are currently held by Charitable Man at 3/1 to ride to victory on Saturday. Charitable Man with jockey Garcia and starting from post position #6 opened with Belmont odds at 10/3, so those who took this 3-year-old early will benefit by the extra half a point on the payout. The same applies to bettors who wagered on the third favorite in Belmont today - Dunkirk, currently holding odds 4/1 to win the Belmont Stakes today. Dunkirk opened with odds 9/2, but plenty of bettor obviously believe Dunkirk, racing from post position 2, will finally manage to hold on to a lead and win the 2009 Belmont Stakes. Here is the full list of Belmont Stakes odds on the contenders as posted today by the online sportsbook Bodog Sports:
