If you like to bet on sports in the US and UK Saturday is a doubly whammy. First, you can bet on the Epsom Derby, one of the most prestigious races in the UK. Then, just a few hours later, check out the odds on the Belmont Stakes, third leg in the US Triple Crown. Spectacular. The races may be similar, but the betting prospects definitely aren’t. The odds on the Epsom Derby at Bovada have it as a runaway win, but a bet on the Belmont Stakes is a far harder wager to call.

Typically, the final leg of the US horse racing Triple Crown is a big occasion. It draws huge crowds of fans and often bestows the title each horse and rider are seeking.

There will be no crowds at the 145th running of the race, which usually isn’t the last of the three. Still, just because you can’t go and watch won’t actually affect the odds on the Preakness Stakes 2020.

The absence of Usain Bolt will be a talking point for commentators the world over next Summer as the five rings are hauled aloft in Japan for the 32nd modern Olympic Games and there will be a very noticeable gap in the line up for the final of the race that decides who is the fastest man on the planet.
