Things You'll Need:

- Daily Racing Form
- Admission tickets to the Belmont Stakes
-
Step 1
Bet on the Belmont Stakes by checking the exact date of the event on Nyra.com and making plans to follow the event live (see Resources below). The Belmont Stakes are usually held in early June in Elmont, New York, which is located in Nassau County on Long Island. You can watch the event on network television, at a sports bar, on the Internet, or even in person, since the park is unusually large, and seats are usually available to the general public.
-
Step 2
Handicap the field before you decide to bet on the Belmont Stakes, which means gathering information on each horse, each jockey and the track conditions on the day of the race. You will also need to review past-race results for the horses involved, which can be done by using the "Daily Racing Form," the authoritative resource for horse racing since 1894. The "Daily Racing Form" is available at most racetracks, newsstands and bookstores.
-
Step 3
Decide whether you want to bet on a single horse to win, place or show at the Belmont Stakes or choose to make a more complex bet. At the Stakes, you can make an exacta bet, with which you predict the exact finish of two different horses, yielding a higher payoff due to increased odds. Alternatively, you can really take a risk and bet on a trifecta (three horses) or superfecta (four horses).
-
Step 4
Use computer-software applications for horse-racing analysis and betting to handicap the Belmont Stakes. This software can evaluate the field and make recommendations based upon handicapping methods, mathematical and statistical models and even your own data, helping you make your bet online. Find links to horse-racing software at Horse-Races.net (see Resources below).

Step 5
