Preakness or Belmont (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stakes

(Other definitions for stakes that I've seen before include "Amounts bet; posts" , "pickets" , "Pointed sticks or shares in enterprise" , "Monies risked on a gamble" , "Wagers with pointed poles" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
