Early 2025 Belmont Stakes Picks
Cornucopian
Bob Baffert is all too familiar with training Belmont Stakes winners, and he has Cornucopian, who looked good winning on debut at Oaklawn Park. There is plenty of water to go under the bridge before the 2025 Belmont Stakes, but he’s eyeing the Arkansas Derby and the Kentucky Derby. Should he perform well in those races, Belmont Stakes betting odds will trim, and he could shorten to one of the favorites.
Getaway Car
Our early predictions for Belmont Stakes include another Baffert-trained runner in Getaway Car, who looks likely to mature into a nice staying type. The 3-year-old colt by Curlin is bred to be a superstar, and he has been given a busy career so far. He won the Sunland Derby following numerous top efforts as a juvenile, including a second placing in the Los Alamitos Futurity. His Belmont odds are likely to firm over the upcoming weeks.
Citizen Bull
Why not include another Baffert runner? Citizen Bull is the current favorite to win the 2025 Kentucky Derby, and if everything goes to plan, he could enter the Belmont Stakes as the race favorite. Belmont Stakes odds will only shorten if he wins any major races leading into the Derby, and we could be looking at a Triple Crown contender.
Bet on Belmont Stakes 2025 Odds
Belmont Stakes Odds
Belmont Stakes odds show an even betting field, but there is often good value throughout the year. Live horse racing odds are available once markets open, and the odds change as races are run every week.
Below are the 2024 Belmont Stakes odds and results, with outsider Dornoch scoring a big upset victory.
2024 Belmont Stakes Result and Odds
1st – Dornoch (+1600)
2nd – Mindframe (+400)
3rd – Sierra Leone (+150)
Dornoch caused a big upset at double-figure odds when holding off the well-performed Sierra Leone. Preakness Stakes winner Seize the Grey could replicate his effort, so bettors were left licking their wounds. However, the beauty of horse racing is that the 2025 Belmont Stakes is just around the corner.

How to Bet on Belmont Stakes
We love betting on the Belmont Stakes, and apart from the Kentucky Derby, it’s our favorite race to bet on. Live horse racing odds for the Belmont Stakes make betting on the final leg of the Triple Crown exciting.
The odds often change throughout the year, depending on which horses are winning the big lead-up races, which means bettors can jump on a runner paying value odds. However, not everyone knows how to bet on the Belmont Stakes, so let’s look at the popular betting options.
Several horse betting types include win, place, show, exacta, and trifecta. If you’re new to betting on horse racing, we suggest backing for a win and place. Backing a horse to win means it needs to cross the line first, and a place bet is a top-three wager. There is a higher chance of cashing with a place bet, so the odds are shorter.
The odds are the first thing you will want to look at before betting on the Belmont Stakes. We recommend only taking odds you’re comfortable with. If the favorite is paying around -200 to win, there could be better value elsewhere.
How to Read Belmont Stakes Odds
Horse racing odds used to be placed with fractional odds, but the team at BetUS also displays American odds.
It makes reading Belmont Stakes odds much easier, as American bettors are used to seeing +120/-120 odds, as opposed to 3/1 or 5-2. If you place $100 on a horse paying +300, you get $300 profit on your wager.
Knowing what odds you’ll get for exacta and trifecta bets is much harder to work out, and it depends on the size of the betting pool. If your selections include favorites, you won’t get significant payouts. However, if you have a roughie in your picks, the payouts can be massive, as bettors have seen in the past.
Belmont Stakes Futures
Much like any other sport, you can bet on the big events like the Belmont Stakes before it even begins. Usually once the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes wrap up, you can find Belmont Stakes futures where they will show you all horses competing, and you can choose your favorite horse to win the whole thing. The odds to win will be inflated, and you could predict the winner long before that horse ever crosses the finish line.
You can get some great value from betting on an underdog in big races like the Belmont Stakes. Ensure you pay attention to qualifiers and how horses have performed at previous Triple Crown races to ensure you have a good idea of how they might perform at Belmont Park.
Another futures bet you can place is the Triple Crown Winner special, which allows you to predict if a horse will win a Triple Crown honor at the Belmont Stakes. The odds will be released after the Kentucky Derby, and will either increase or drop off after the Preakness, depending on if that horse secures another win.
