Horse racing is something like a religion in Hong Kong, whose citizens bet more than anyone else on Earth. Their cathedral is Happy Valley Racecourse, whose grassy oval track and floodlit stands. Resident tipster Adam gives his betting strategy for Monday (1/3/2021) racing. Note that some prices quoted were available at the time of writing, which was 6pm Sunday.March Outlay: $0March. American racing is fascinated with the Triple Crown Races – The Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes. The lead up to the Derby itself with all the qualifying races and then the 20 horses that often enter the Run for the Roses is one of the biggest and most anticipated racing events of the year. In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and its expansions, horse racing is an activity in which Geralt may partake along with his horse Roach.In general, a horse race will have a quest associated with it, in which Geralt must place a bet with a bookmaker. If Geralt loses a race, the amount bet on it will be lost, and in some cases the associated quest or quest objective may fail.
For the first time in history, the Belmont Stakes ran as the first race in the Triple Crown. The order for 2020 is Belmont Stakes first, Kentucky Derby second and Preakness Stakes last. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Triple Crown 2020 schedule was turned upside down, with the Kentucky Derby moving from May 2 to September 5, the Preakness Stakes shifting from May 16 to October 3 and the Belmont Stakes shifting from June 6 to June 20.
Not only is this the first time the Triple Crown will run in this order, but the turnaround time between each race is also significantly different. Usually, the Kentucky Derby is held on the first Saturday in May, the Preakness Stakes comes two weeks after that and the Belmont Stakes closes out the series three weeks after that. Because the training and prep of racehorses around the world has been disrupted because of the pandemic, the Belmont Stakes, typically the longest of the three races, was shortened from 1 1/2-miles (12 furlongs) to 1 1/8-miles (9 furlongs).
Tiz the Law easily handled a small Belmont Stakes field. He entered the Kentucky Derby as the overwhelming favorite after adding a Travers Stakes win to his resume, but Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert’sAuthentic outlasted a furious stretch duel with Tiz the Law to win the 146th Derby.
Authentic returns to the Triple Crown scene in the Preakness on Oct. 3 (NBC, 4:30 to 6 p.m. ET) but Tiz the Law’s camp is saving him for the Breeders’ Cup Classic in November. Art Collector, a promising Kentucky Derby campaigner who was scratched with a minor injury several days before the Derby, could prove to be Authentic’s biggest competition, and powerhouse filly Swiss Skydiver becomes the first filly to run in the Preakness since 2014.
Who was the last Triple Crown winner?
The most recent Triple Crown winner was Justify, trained by Baffert and ridden by Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith, in 2018. His win came just three years after Baffert’s American Pharoah won the Triple Crown.
Triple Crown 2020 order:
*Belmont Stakes (moved from June 6 to June 20, traditionally last). Winner: Tiz the Law
*Kentucky Derby (moved from May 2 to September 5, traditionally first). Winner: Authentic
*Preakness Stakes (moved from May 16 to October 3, traditionally second)

Horse racing has long history of great triumphs, fantastic feats of athleticism, and startling upsets. With every race, every jockey and horse pair has a chance to make history. The potential for eternal fame, the chance to beat records, and the possibility of becoming a true champion are just part of the thrill of the races. Throughout the many years these distinguished races have been run, there are some truly remarkable memories. From races during which the underdog beat the champion, or a special horse astounded the world, or rivals faced off in an epic showdown, horse racing has it all. Below we’ve compiled our list of our favorite races in horse racing history.
10. 2016 Belmont Stakes
While there was no Triple Crown on the line during the 2016 Belmont Race, the win by Creator was a huge upset for the favorites. For the duration of the race, Creator was not in the first four positions, until the very end when he sprinted past the leaders. The favorites for the race, Exaggerator and Stradivari, failed to finish in the top three. Despite his initial position at the back of the track, Creator’s outstanding finish earned him the Belmont victory by a nose in an epic sprint out with Destin. What Are The Different Races
9. 2002 Belmont Stakes
The 2002 Belmont Stakes was another racing upset. Leading up to the race, War Emblem had won both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes, meaning a Triple Crown victory was on the line. However, War Emblem stumbled at the start and effectively eliminated his shot at victory, ultimately finishing eighth. The greatest surprise of the race was the victorious run of Sarava, who chased down Medaglia d’Oro after trailing the main pack. At odds of 70-1, he is the biggest long shot in history to win the Belmont.
8. 1998 Belmont Stakes What Are The Three Main Horse Races
Another race with a Triple Crown victory on the line, the epic finish to the 1998 Belmont Stakes is one of the closest races in history. The ultimate leader, Victory Gallop, narrowly beat out the favorite, and winner of the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes, Real Quiet. It was Bob Baffert’s second shot at a Triple Crown, and his horse Real Quiet lost by the smallest margin in Belmont history. The two had come head to head at the Derby and Preakness, with Victory Gallop coming in second both times. The exhilarating finish at the end solidified the loss of another potential Triple Crown victor.
7. 1971 Kentucky Derby
The 1971 Kentucky Derby winner Canonero II was a long shot. After his birth in Kentucky, he was shipped to race in Venezuela before coming back to Kentucky for the Derby. With impossible odds, he managed to surprise everyone with a three length victory at the Derby. While not considered an outstanding horse, his victory is one of a true underdog overcoming the challenges put in his way.
6. 1989 Belmont Stakes
During the 1989 Belmont Stakes, Easy Goer defeated the Horse of the Year Sunday Silence by eight lengths. Easy Goer had previously lost to Sunday Silence in the Derby and Preakness, but managed to win the Belmont and deny Sunday Silence the Triple Crown. He posted the second fastest Belmont time in history at 2:26.1, behind Secretariat’s 2:24. Interestingly, Easy Goer was the son of Alydar, the only horse in history to finish in second place for all three Triple Crown races. It was thought that perhaps Easy Goer would follow in his footsteps, but his upset at the Belmont separated him from that legacy.
5. 1993 Breeder’s Cup Classic
The Breeder’s Cup Classic, while not a major Triple Crown race, is widely considered to be the premier horseracing event in North America. Due to the intense, competitive nature of the race, predictions are quite volatile. With odds of 133-1, the 1993 victory by Arcangue is the biggest upset by an underdog in the history of the Cup. A French horse, Arcangue had previously only raced on grass tracks in Europe, and the Classic was his debut in American racing. The five year old horse was trailing for most of the race before sprinting past the leaders to win in the last strides. To this day, he’s famous for managing to beat out the favorite Bertrando in what is one of the greatest upsets in horseracing history.
4. 2009 Kentucky Derby
With odds of 50-1, the nearly seven length victory of Mine That Bird was shocking to most watchers. Though he ran nearly dead last for most of the race, in the final turn shot past the leading Pioneerof the Mile for an outstanding victory. Mine That Bird set records for the longest-odds horse to win the Derby in 85 years, and the biggest lead in a Derby win in more than 60 years. It is still considered one of the most epic finishes to a Derby race, as no one predicted such a performance from the horse.
3. 2015 Belmont Stakes
After 37 years, American Pharoah broke the Triple Crown dry spell in a remarkable Belmont Stakes performance. He currently posts the second fasted Belmont time in history at 2:26.65. While his start was less than ideal, he quickly came to the first position, and ultimately won by five and a half lengths. His time is the second fastest Belmont time in Triple Crown winners’ history behind Secretariat. The most remarkable aspect of his Belmont performance, however, is that American Pharoah finally achieved a Triple Crown victory in an era when most believed it could never be done again.
2. 1978 Belmont Stakes
The 1978 Belmont Stakes was the close to one of the greatest horse racing rivalries in history: Affirmed and Alydar. After coming in second at both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes, Alydar made a bid for the last leg of the Triple Crown races. However, Affirmed led the pack for the whole race and managed to win by a nose. The pair kicked away from the rest of the pack in a neck to neck race that’s still considered one of the greatest showdowns in racing history. While Affirmed’s victory meant he secured the 11th Triple Crown in history, it’s quite remarkable that Alydar is the only horse in history to come in second at every Triple Crown race. We haven’t seen such a pair of horses rival since this epic faceoff.
1. 1973 Belmont Stakes
Secretariat is widely regarded as the second best racehorse of all time behind Man-O-War, but his epic finish at the 1973 Belmont Stakes has remained the best Belmont time of any horse in history. He won by a remarkable 31 lengths- absolutely blowing his competition out of the water. His grand story is amazing, not just because he still hold the track record for the Belmont, but because he still has set the records for every Triple Crown race. In his epic Belmont finish, he solidifies his position as a true champion racer with an outstanding victory.
