Hopefully they'll still be a pony or two to bet on in the "Third Jewel" of horse racing's Triple Crown, as most of the latest Belmont news concerns those horses that won't be making an appearance at Belmont Park on June 10th.
Despite posting a fine time (1:39:80) Monday at Bay Meadows, No Cause to Believe won't be going to the Belmont Stakes. Trainer Jerry Hollendorfer discussed it with the horse's owners and decided to keep the colt on the west, as Belmont would have been the third long distance journey for No Cause in two months.
Sweetnorthernsaint is also out of the running, trainer Mike Trombetta confirmed Thursday. This will mark the first time since 1983 that no horse will have run in all three Triple Crown Races.
While some of the big names from the Derby and Preakness will be absent, there will still be some great horses running in New York. Belmont Stakes contenders are now thought to include Bluegrass Cat, Bob and John, Deputy Glitters, Hemingway's Key, High Finance, Jazil, Oh So Awesome, Platinum Couple, Sacred Light, Steppenwolfer and Sunriver.
Two down, one to go! Bet on the Belmont Stakes, the third and final jewel of the Triple Crown of horse racing, in the Bodog Sportsbook!
