Belmont Stakes 2015 Starting Time and When to Get My Wagers In Online

This year’s Belmont Stakes race starts a little later than the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes.

The 6:50 pm EST post time allows slackers to get their final wagers in nearly a whole 30 minutes longer than the aforementioned legs of the Triple Crown.  Just remember that the websites tend to experience crunch periods and slower load times the two hours leading up to the Kentucky Derby and Saturday’s Belmont Stakes race may mimic that type of traffic with American Pharoah vying to win the Triple Crown. 

For online racebooks that extra half hour period is likely to result in hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional revenue.
