2010 Belmont Stakes Odds Have Ice Box as Favorite

The 2010 Belmont Stakes odds are out, and Ice Box is the favorite. The 2010 Belmont Stakes odds have Ice Box as the 3-1 favorite this morning, but things could always change leading up to the running at Belmont Park this weekend. First Dude is at 7-2 odds right now, and Fly Down is at 9-2 odds to lead the field. The updated 2010 Belmont Stakes odds were released as the post assignments for the horses were all revealed. The 142nd running of the Belmont Stakes will take place on Saturday, June 5th, 2010 at Belmont Park.

One of the oddities that racing fans will notice about the 2010 Belmont Stakes line-up is that the Kentucky Derby winner as well as the Preakness Stakes winner are both missing from the field. According to ESPN, this is the first time since 1970, that the Belmont has lacked the winner of both early season races. It also means that the field at the 2010 Belmont Stakes could be really wide open for a surprise horse to take the title. So much for the predictions that came at the end of the 2010 Kentucky Derby where people stated we could see a Triple Crown winner in 2010. Now we won't even see a horse win two of the races.

The $1 million running of the 2010 Belmont Stakes will have odds that change right up until the running of the race, but we have listed the current 2010 Belmont Stakes odds below for those that are interested.
