Horse racing odds experts know that Trainer D. Wayne Lukas will be hoping his long shots Luv Gov or Flying Private can give him his 14th Triple Crown victory at Belmont Park but the 2009 Belmont Stakes odds makers are not giving him much of a chance. The horse racing betting experts at internet racebook Bodog.com have Luv Gov listed at 25 to 1 Belmont Odds.
"Because of our fondness for the former governor (Eliot Spitzer), we named one horse Luv Gov and another one The Ninth Client," stated D. Wayne Lukas. "I'm sure we'll have a lot of good comments from the peanut gallery on Saturday."
Jockey Miguel Mena will get the mount and will ride Luv Gov from the 5th Post Position at Belmont Park. The 2009 Belmont Stakes takes place at 6:27 PM EST and will be aired live on ABC and ESPN 360.
“Lukas said before the Preakness that this was the race that figured to suit this colt best,” stated VegasInsider.com Horse Racing Odds Expert Anthony Stabile when asked to comment on 2009 Belmont Stakes odds of Luv Gov. The truth of the matter is and entry level allowance race or a high priced claimer might be asking too much at this point.”

“While he did not embarrass himself in the Preakness,” stated Horse Racing Odds Expert Jeremy Plonk of HorsePlayerPro.com about Luv Gov in his Belmont Stakes column on ESPN titled Countdown to the Crown: June 4, 2009. “He did not do enough to make me feel like he was definitively moving forward to contend with these type of horses. I think he can move forward again, but that best-case result appears more like a fifth or sixth-place run than a place in the trifecta.”
