Belmont Stakes 142 Odds – Sleeper Uptowncharlybrown 8/1 to Win
One of the potential sleepers in this year’s Belmont Stakes is Uptowncharlybrown, who has run fairly well so far this year.
Uptowncharlybrown Info:
Owner(s): Fantasy Lane Stable
Trainer: Kiaran P. Mclaughlin
Jockey: Rajiv Maragh
Bred: Kentucky (USA)
Pedigree: Limehouse – La Iluminada by Langfuhr
Opening Odds:
Uptowncharleybrown opened as a 20/1 long shot, but his odds have upgraded to 8/1 according to oddsmakers from online sports book SPORTSBETTING.com.
Post Position:
Uptowncharlybrown drew the No. 3 post position on Wednesday, which is a good sign if previous history means anything. The No. 3 post has produced 13 winners, the same amount as the No. 5 post. Only the rail position has won more times, as the No. 1 post has produced 23 winners.
Overview:
The 3-year-old colt has had some solid outings so far this season, including winning at Pasco on January 16 to start the year. He then finished third at G3 Sam F. Davis, fifth at the G3 Tampa Bay Derby and third at the G2 Coolmore Lexington Stakes on April 17, which qualifies as a sharp prep. His jockey, Rajiv Maragh, made his breakthrough at the Louisiana Derby by winning the race aboard Mission Impazible. The not-yet-25-year-old Maragh knows Belmont Park seeing as how he’s based in New York, so this pair is certainly one to watch this Saturday.
