The 2005 Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York, is bringing the world-famous sport of thoroughbred horse racing to a breath-taking climax! As the third and final leg of the Triple Crown series of stakes races, the Belmont Stakes is the last remaing horse race standing in the way of a season's Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes back-to-back winner and the ever elusive Visa Triple Crown Challenge title. As long-time fans of horse racing events, racing picks, and betting tips, horse betting and wagering, and horse handicapping know all too well, the lucky thoroughbred champ that wins the year's $2 million Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, $1 million Preakness Stakes at Pimlico race course, and finally, $1 million Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park is further awarded a whopping $5 million bonus as the Triple Crown big winner!

In 2004, a multitude of loyal fans rooted for the popular Smarty Jones, the 2004 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner, but he was denied the Triple Crown victory when he lost the Belmont Stakes, also referred to as the "Test of the Champion," to Birdstone. A total of merely 11 horses have thus far won the Triple Crown in history, the last being Affirmed in 1978, so it is no doubt a hard-earned victory in thoroughbred horse racing.
