2019 Belmont Stakes Odds: Tacitus, War of Will or Intrepid Heart


2019 Belmont Stakes odds are ready, and so you can place your bets on the last event of the Triple Crown.

Neither ‘Country House’ nor ‘Maximum Security’ is going to make it to the race, but other champions such as Tacitus, and ‘War of Will’, the winner of the Preakness, will make it to the track at Elmont, New York.

2019 Belmont Stakes odds: Tacitus or War of Will?

The sire of ‘Tacitus’ is ‘Tapit’, and this is definitely a good indication of the quality of this horse, as the latter has sired three of the last five Belmont winners.

Plus, the trainer of this colt is Bill Mott, who trained the winner of the Kentucky Derby, ‘Country House’.

Indeed, Tacitus seems like the horse with the most chances of getting the victory, but ‘War of Will’ can’t be discarded, And that’s because War of Will is the horse that won the Preakness Stakes.

With that said, the Mark Casse trainee needs to find a way to run as fast as ‘Tacitus’, a horse that’s also more rested, contrary to War of Will, who has run in three events in the last five weeks.

So, between these two horses, doubtlessly, the best of the two according to horse racing betting odds is Tacitus.

 Best Belmont betting odds: Discarding Horses

Before naming other possible winning colts, let’s discard those with the least chances:

First, we have ‘Everfast’, a horse that didn’t perform all that well at the Preakness Stakes. And the same can be said of ‘Spinoff’, who came up short at the Kentucky Derby. 

And the last colt that you should avoid putting your cash on is ‘Master Fencer’, the Japanese import that is not a favorite, despite doing well at the Derby.

That leaves ‘Intrepid Heart’, another colt that was sired by ‘Tapit’, and he definitely looks like another contender, just like his brother, ‘Tacitus’.

Hopefully, race preview has allowed you to have a better idea of the favorites for this exciting event.
