The 2022 Triple Crown has been rather interesting, as you probably know already. The Kentucky Derby saw a huge upset with Rich Strike taking the win. This was followed by the Preakness Stakes with Early Voting taking the win over the heavy favorite, Epicenter. And now, the final leg is almost upon us, with the Belmont Stakes scheduled this Saturday. Keeping in line with how the Triple Crown has been going this year, we figured it was appropriate to throw together some Belmont Stakes upset predictions ahead of the event.

Belmont Stakes betting online – underdog tips along with their odds
It would be easy to stick with the Belmont Stakes favorites for this race. But the favorites tend to have the lowest Belmont Stakes odds of them all, and therefore the least possible returns. Therefore, it’s perfectly logical to see that punters want some Belmont Stakes upset predictions with better odds and therefore higher returns. We’ve checked out the lineup, looked at the Belmont Stakes live odds, and we’ve come up with the following underdog predictions as a result:
Creative Minister – +600 odds
The first of our Belmont Stakes upset predictions is for Creative Minister to take the win. This horse has been involved in the previous Preakness Stakes, and he achieved a 3rd place finish. In fact, he was only beaten by Early Voting and Epicenter – two horses that won’t be competing in the Belmont Stakes. So taking those two horses out of the equation, Creative Minister has every chance of crossing the line in the first place. And with odds of +600, this is a much better return than the other horses, if he did in fact win the Belmont Stakes.
Bet on Belmont Stakes >Nest – +800 odds
The second of our picks is for Nest, a horse that has slipped under the radar so far. However, Nest has managed to win 3 of his last 4 races, including an impressive victory at Keeneland in April. The odds are also playing a factor in this prediction, with +800 on offer at TVG for those who choose to back this horse. This implies a win probability of just over 11%, but we feel that Nest’s chances are far greater than this. Therefore, this particular market is also undervalued, which is another key reason to pick Nest for the Belmont Stakes.
Nest has also been given a post position of gate 3, which is a much better position than those on the outside track.
