Why Wait??Bet At The Track – Champions Are Made, Wagers Are Won
TrackChampion.com - and the racebooks it endorses – provides horse racing news and odds updates that will help horse bettors win more wagers and get better value. The following races are the biggest ones on the betting calendar, so follow along and don’t miss out on any of them.
Bet On Pegasus World Cup – Jan. 26, 2019
the relatively new major race on the calendar is Gulfstream Park’s Pegasus World Cup. It’s scheduled for Jan. 26, 2019 and will be one of the richest on the horse betting calendar.
Bet On Dubai World Cup – March 30, 2019
before the Pegasus World Cup came along, the Dubai World Cup was horse racing’s richest race with the winner taking $10 million of the $30 million purse. It remains one of the top attractions and a great opportunity for betting value in March.
Bet on The Kentucky Derby – May 4, 2019
Whether its called The First Saturday in May or the Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports, betting on the Kentucky Derby is one must-do events in America, even for non-sports fans and even for fans who never pay attention to another horse race all year. The favorite has won this race six straight times, so watch for the Derby futures at BetAmerica.com to see who is leading the odds parade months before the post parade. The race goes at Churchill Downs in Louisville.
Bet on Preakness Stakes – May 18, 2019
Two weeks after the Kentucky Derby betting ends, odds are immediately posted for the Preakness Stakes as the Triple Crown search ramps into high gear. At Pimlico Maryland, this is a race many Americans will bet on because it follows so quickly on the hype of the Derby and speculates on the odds of having another Triple Crown winner.
Bet on Belmont Stakes – June 9, 2019
Horse bettors always bet this – the casual fan will usually only bet it if the Triple Crown is in play. Run at 1.5 miles at Belmont Park in New York, the race has ended many Triple Crown dreams as the long track demands speed and stamina. With a Triple Crown hopeful having run twice in the prior five weeks, this is a tough task for any thoroughbred.
Bet on 2000 Guineas and 1000 Guineas – May 4-5, 2019
Thrilling races from Newmarket UK which serve as the first of the five English Classics and the de facto first leg of the British Triple Crown. These races have been run since 1809 and 1814 respectively making them the oldest and most prestigious horse races on Earth.
Bet on The Oaks and The Derby – May 31-June 1, 2019
Two more great UK races that attract global interest and international track wagering interest. The Oaks, held at Epsom south of London, is like the Kentucky Oaks – for 3-yrear-old fillies. The Derby the following day is Britain’s richest horse race and another must-bet track event, even for Americans and Canadian horse betting fans.
Bet on Royal Ascot – June 18-22, 2019
Held in Ascot UK since 1711 (yes that is 1711), its pomp and ceremony sets the tone for a great week of track champion action. The prestigious Gold Cup is the highlight.
Bet on British Champions Day – Oct. 19, 2019
The end of the British racing season sees rich purses and top talent.
Bet on Breeders Cup
In America, betting the Breeders Cup is the highlight for bettors, even if it doesn’t generate as much mainstream hype and interest as the Kentucky Derby. Multiple million-dollar purses are awarded in the de facto world championship of horse racing. The Breeders Cup Juvenile race for 2-year-olds often starts the hype train for the following Kentucky Derby as the winner here is often an early favorite to win the following May.
Bet on the Melbourne Cup – Nov. 5, 2019
The biggest horse racing day by far on the Australia horse bettong calendar – the nation literally shuts down so everyone can watch – and wager. Called the ‘Race That Stops A Nation”, it is held in Flemington Australia.
