Drosselmeyer Rockets Through Final Turn, Wins 2010 Belmont Stakes

Here are the announced payouts following the results of the 2010 Belmont Stakes.

For those uninitiated, the payouts here are so large because a) Ice Box wasn’t in the picture, and b) race winner Drosselmeyer entered with 13-1 odds.

In a remarkable comeback that gained steam around the final turn, Drosselmeyer shot past First Dude and Game On Dude to win the 2010 Belmont Stakes in New York.

This is an upset win for Drosselmeyer, a horse with +1200 earlier Saturday. First Dude unofficially finished third, and Game On Dude finished fourth.

The estimated post time for the 2010 Belmont Stakes is only minutes away -- 6:32 Eastern -- and Ice Box has become even more of a standout favorite. The horse’s odds have increased from +200 this afternoon to +160 as of this writing.

Ice Box is trailed by First Dude and Fly Down, who both sit at +500. Uptowncharlybrown’s odds, which are now at +800, have increased modestly throughout the day. Every other horse in the field has odds greater than 10-1.

At noon Eastern on Saturday, the odds at the 2010 Belmont Stakes have shifted a bit. Ice Box remains the favorite, followed by First Dude and Fly Down. Meanwhile, the odds of Uptowncharlybrown, Drosselmeyer, and Interactif have grown a little more distant.

Here’s a look at the current odds according to All Horse Racing, the official betting partner of the Belmont Stakes. The odds in parentheses note the odds of each horse as they stood last night.
