Handicapping Football or Basketball is one thing, but it takes a completely different skillset to be an expert bettor at the track. The best horse racing pundits in the world will tell you that this is a game of extreme skill to try to pick the top horse over the course of anywhere from 60 seconds to two minutes. Here at JustBet, we have all of the top races covered no matter whether you're a diehard who follows the action at the track every single day or are just interested in the biggest races of the year.
Kentucky Derby
The "Run for the Roses" is always the biggest horse race of the year on American soil. Qualifying for the Kentucky Derby alone is ridiculously tough, as there are hundreds who attempt to make the field of 20 from all over the world. Just to get into the Kentucky Derby field is quite the honor, but to go on and win it is the stuff dreams are made of.
Even the best jockeys, trainers and owners have sleepless nights wondering how on Earth they're going to win their next Kentucky Derby, and this race is often one that eludes even the best of the best in the Sport of Kings.
Preakness Stakes
The second jewel of the Triple Crown isn't always the sexiest, but at least there's always a boatload of intrigue. Pimlico Racetrack is only open for one major weekend a year, but the third Saturday of May is guaranteed to have a slew of drama. Will the Kentucky Derby champion ride onto Belmont Park with a shot at claiming immortality that would come with winning the Triple Crown?
The best horse racing bettors out there would tell you that the Preakness Stakes odds are the easiest to beat of all of the Triple Crown races.
Belmont Stakes
The Belmont Stakes is either a stud of a race or a dud of a race depending upon whether there is a horse who is still in the running for the elusive Triple Crown. Either way, there are generally over 100,000 people who flock to Belmont Park for an excellent day of racing that is capped with a legitimate Grade 1 race. Win this 1 1/2-mile race, and you're guaranteed to have a shot at the Eclipse Trophy at the end of the year for Horse of the Year honors. But even more important is the chance to go down in horse racing infamy having won the longest thoroughbred race you'll see run on American soil.
Breeders' Cup
Unlike the three Triple Crown races that are all just one big moment that encapsulates the whole sports betting world at one time, the Breeders' Cup is a whole sequence of events. There are a dozen races that make up the Breeders' Cup, and they're all considered world championships in their respective classes.
Sure, the ultimate showcase for the Breeders' Cup is the Classic, the race run by the best of the best in the world from age 3 up as high as age 7. Only the absolute best ponies in the world even dare run in this race, and whichever colt (or filly!) comes out on top is immediately considered one of the best in the world in any division.
