Triple Crown Wagering at SBG Global

Triple Crown wagering is the most exciting bet of the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes.

Even people that don’t normally bet horses will take a look at Triple Crown betting odds. Triple Crown wagering includes the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes. Let’s take a look at some important things to remember in Triple Crown betting.

Triple Crown wagering is always exciting on the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness but it can take on a new level of excitement if a horse is trying to win the Triple Crown in the Belmont. Only 11 horses have managed to win the Triple Crown and that shows just how difficult it is. As you are gambling on Triple Crown races you must remember that it is difficult for one horse to win all three races.

It is also a well known fact that the in the Derby the favorite almost never wins. Only horses up to the age of three are allowed to compete in Triple Crown odds and that makes them very unpredictable, which is why favorites have fared so poorly in Kentucky Derby betting.


Triple Crown wagering begins on the first Saturday in May each year with the Kentucky Derby. Some horses that have had fantastic careers never won the Derby and some didn’t even compete in it. Man o’ War managed to win only two races out of the three Triple Crown betting races. Seabiscuit was not even considered for the races and Cigar never ran.

You must remember in Triple Crown wagering that the horses are pressed. Usually horses get 30 to 60 days off between races. In Triple Crown wagering, the horses have to run 3 races within 35 days. That makes it tough for horses and it makes it tough to handicap summer Triple Crown odds.

The big factor is the distance of these races. The Derby is a mile and a quarter; the Preakness is a mile and three sixteenth while the Belmont is a mile and half. Those are tough distances, which makes Triple Crown wagering difficult. Your best tip in Triple Crown betting for the Derby is to look for long shots, in the Preakness to look to the favorite and in the Belmont to look for a horse with stamina. Those are some basic Triple Crown betting tips to consider as your bet horses this year.
