The 2009 Belmont Stakes odds on Dunkirk to win the Belmont Stakes are listed at 5 to 1 with Bodog Racebook. Jockey John Velazquez gets the mount and will ride Dunkirk from the 2nd Post Position in the 2009 Belmont later today at 6:27 PM EST live from Belmont Park in Elmont, New York.“I've been a HUGE fan of this guy since the day he broke his maiden,” stated VegasInsider.com Horse Racing Picks Expert Anthony Stabile when asked to comment on 2009 Belmont Stakes Odds on Dunkirk. “Would have won the Florida Derby if it wasn't for a jazzed up course. I can't believe the Derby is indicative of what this colt truly has to offer. I'm glad to see Prado off and Johnny V on. Velazquez fits his style perfectly while Prado has been slumping badly. I also like the karma factor as this scenario is the exact one that played out two years ago when Rags to Riches won this for these guys. Figures to be lying in a perfect spot early on and is one of just a few that figures to relish the added distance. I think he's ready to run the race of his life.” Dunkirk’s trainer Todd Pletcher received the Eclipse Award four consecutive times as the Top Horse Trainer in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. Bodog Casino is celebrating the third and final leg of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, the Belmont Stakes, with a $50 match-bet bonus.

His Gulfstream allowance win hints that he could be this good, and trainer Todd Pletcher has been masterful in the Belmont in recent years with horses who did not have the same license to drive as this guy. If he runs out of his skin, which is a big question mark still to me, and MINE THAT BIRD flattens out from the rigors of the Triple Crown, this is the horse to make Belmont 141 at least a two-horse race.” 2009 Belmont odds to win the 141st Belmont Stakes provided by internet racebook Bodog.com: Mine That Bird: 4/3 Dunkirk: 5/1 Charitable Man: 3/1 Chocolate Candy: 12/1 Flying Private: 18/1 Mr. Hot Stuff: 18/1 Brave Victory: 20/1 Miners Escape: 20/1 Summer Bird: 10/1 Luv Gov: 25/1                        |
