Charitable Man Belmont Stakes Payout Odds
After Mine That Bird, the talk of the Belmont Stakes this weekend is Charitable Man. His Belmont Stakes payout odds typically lie around 3/1 or +300. Sports Interaction listed Charitable Man with Belmont Stakes payout odds of +350 for a payout potential of $350 on every $100 bet. There is not a huge disparity in the odds across the board but certainly Sports Interaction has one of the best lines on this horse.
In some circles, Charitable Man is receiving more action that Mine That Bird - all the more reason to get money down on Charitable Man's charitable +350 payout odds now before they get slashed further.
Sports Illustrated's Gene Menez reported the following on Charitable Man and his chances of winning the 2009 Belmont Stakes race:
"The top spot almost came down to a coin flip between Charitable Man, who impressively won the Peter Pan four weeks ago, and Mine That Bird. The former wins out because, as has been repeated many times, "Pace makes the race," and Charitable Man is the lone speed in a Belmont packed with late-run closers. If he can get away with a half mile in :49, he should be home free.
"In addition, after Charitable Man was forced to make a late 2009 debut because of injury, trainer Kiaran McLaughlin elected to bypass the Kentucky Derby and target the Belmont instead so the horse is set up to run big on Saturday. Also, there are no concerns about him getting the Belmont's 1 ½ mile distance since his sire, Lemon Drop Kid, won the 1999 Belmont. And if that isn't enough evidence in his favor, Charitable Man is a perfect 3-for-3 on dirt surfaces and 2-for-2 at Belmont. The pick."
