Here's you chance to be part of the Triple Crown.
And pick up a little cash along the way.
The Daytona Beach Kennel Club is hosting "the best Triple Crown Party in Central Florida" on Saturday, and would be happy to give you some of their money along the way.
Betting windows open at 10 a.m. for you to get in on the Belmont Stakes action as Justify tries to become just the second Triple Crown winner since 1978 (American Pharoah won it in 2015).
You don't have to bet Justify, of course, as he opened at 4-5 morning line odds — not a great payoff. But if you were going to bet him, you'd just say to the teller, "I'd like to bet the Belmont, $2 to win on No. 1." It's that simple. If you go with another horse, just change the number to your choice's corresponding number.
There will be a lot going on at the kennel club on Saturday. There's live dog racing at 1:05 p.m. and again after the Belmont at 7:25 p.m. There will be a Creative Hat Contest, with registration beginning at 4 p.m. and the winner announced at 5:30 p.m. with prizes awarded for $75 to the winner, $50 to second and $25 to third. Finally, JAM (Jeremy Andrea Mix) will perform live on stage at 4:30 p.m.
Then comes the big race. The Belmont post time is scheduled for 6:37 p.m.
