What’s Hot: Betting on the Belmont Stakes, Euro 2012
There is little doubt as to what’s hot in the world of gambling this week outside of the World Series of Poker. Betting will be brisk on both the Belmont Stakes and the Euro 2012.
Looming Strike Won’t Stop Belmont Stakes, Triple Crown Opportunity
While workers at Belmont threatened to go on strike ahead of the highly anticipated Belmont Stakes race Saturday, officials confirmed the race will go on.

Dullahan Odds to Win the 2012 Belmont Stakes
Dullahan odds to win the 2012 Belmont Stakes were coming in at just shy of 4/1 at BetOnline (payout would be $35 for every $10 bet or $350 for every $100 bet).
Dullahan is widely considered by many to be the biggest threat to favorite I’ll Have Another, who was listed at +145 odds to win the Belmont Stakes and the coveted Triple Crown.
So will Dullahan be the spoiler?
I’ll Have Another Pays Near Even Odds to Win 2012 Belmont Stakes
I’ll Have Another was coming in as the obvious favorite to win the 2012 Belmont Stakes. Even at +135 at BetOnline, there is still some good value. The payout would be $135 for every $100 bet or $13.50 for every $10 wagered.
Saturday’s Belmont Stakes is expected to generate the most wagering action for this race in years as I’ll Have Another looks to become the first horse to win the Triple Crown since 1978. Affirmed was the last Triple Crown winner.
I’ll Have Another Trainer Suspended 45 Days
(Associated Press) - - Kentucky Derby-winning trainer Doug O'Neill has been suspended 45 days as a result of one of his horses exceeding the allowable limit for total carbon dioxide. But the punishment won't begin before July 1, ensuring he will be able to saddle I'll Have Another in next month's Belmont Stakes.
The suspension comes in the midst of I'll Have Another's bid to become horse racing's first Triple Crown winner in 34 years. The colt trained by O'Neill won the Derby and then the Preakness last Saturday, and is preparing to run in the Belmont on June 9.

Police: No suspects yet in Churchill Downs slaying
LOUISVILLE, KY. — (Associated Press) - Detectives have no suspects in the slaying of a track worker at Churchill Downs just hours after the Kentucky Derby, but investigators stressed Monday that the killing had no apparent connection to the iconic horse race.
Louisville Police Lt. Barry Wilkerson said investigators are asking witnesses to come forward with information in the slaying of 48-year-old Adan Fabian Perez. Perez’s body was found Sunday morning in the back portion of Barn No. 8, just a few barns away from where Derby winner I’ll Have Another was stabled.
