Beginner’s Bet of the Week: The Across the Board Bet

This week's Beginner's Bet of the Week is the win-place-show bet. Belmont Park is starting its annual tribute to FDNY Firefighters with the FDY Stair Climb. America’s Day at the Races is on FS2 every afternoon now through Sunday. The team will provide live coverage of Belmonter Park and Churchill Downs. New NYRA Bets users can apply promo code MATCH200 for up to a $200 first-deposit match. They can also apply the code to the New York Racing Association. It's possible to bet across the board and have your horse come in third.

Harajuku is the 3-1 second choice on the morning line for the Sands Point Stakes for 3 year old fillies at 1 1/8 miles on grass. She ran a strong race in her American debut last out in the Jockey Club Oaks Invitational. Ryan Moore will ride her instead of Junior Alvarado. The way to play this race is to bet about 10% of your bankroll to win, 33% to place, and the remainder to show.
