I have a good Belmont story. I have a friend whom I work with who is not a big gambler but likes horse racing. He and his wife were at home and decided to bet the Belmont. They were going to bet $20.00. He chose an exacta including Perfect Drift. His wife chose a $5.00 Sarava/Medaglio D'Oro exacta box (primarily based on the names of the horses).

My friend knew from me that you could bet on the internet, but he had only been to Santa Anita. So, he went to the Santa Anita site, which links to xpressbet. He openend the account for $20.00. He then realized that xpressbet did not have the Belmont. So, he made a random bet at Penn National and won $33.00, instead of the $5,000.00 he (actually his wife) would have won had he gone to tvg or youbet instead.
