Horse Racing Odds: 2011 Belmont Stakes Post Positions Announced

The last pieces of the Belmont puzzle are falling into place as post positions were drawn today for the 12 entrants. With post position always affecting a race, bettors were keen to know the details before making their moves.
This year’s Belmont Stakes post positions will add a little bit of drama to an already heavily anticipated duel between Shackleford and Animal Kingdom.
Shackleford got the long end of the stick when he drew the 12th stall meaning that he will have more track to cover on what is already a long course. Animal Kingdom did slightly better when he drew the 9th stall which means less jockeying for position at the start of the race.
However due to the track at Belmont Park being wider and longer than most traditional thoroughbred tracks, post position should have a lesser effect on the race. Interestingly enough, the stall with the most wins in the Belmont Stakes is the number 1 stall which is usually a dreaded post position at most tracks. It has the most Belmont wins at 23. The 3rd and 5th stalls are next with 13 wins respectively.
Without further ado here are the post positions for the 2011 Belmont Stakes:
1. Master of Hounds
2. Stay Thirsty
3. Ruler On Ice
4. Santiva
5. Brilliant Speed
6. Nehro
7. Monzon
8. Prime Cut
9. Animal Kingdom
10. Mucho Macho Man
11. Isnt He Perfect
12. Shackleford
