Looks like he has a legitimate chance at the Triple Crown...

If there was a horse in the Belmont Stakes I would put everything on...

I'd be Big Brown.

Just give him another ****ty field in the Belmont like he had in the Preakness and only the trainer/jockey could manage to screw it up.

I was around for the last two, but at age 2 I don't remember.

you ain't going to win no money, tho.

What did 1-5 odds pay today? 10 cents on the dollar?

In a way, it is. I'm pretty sure Big Brown was named for UPS.

It was. The original owner of Big Brown(and still part owner) has a trucking company that does a ton of business with UPS, so he named Big Brown after them.

He's a lock in the Belmont -- you folks bet everything you have on him. ;)

I don't know why this hasn't been posted yet but it seems appropriate to me.

Man, that trainer is a jackass.

A member of the family that owned Seattle Slew said it was just experience...both Slew and Secretariat had run six races before the Kentucky Derby. The Belmont was Big Brown's sixth race.

trainer is definitely a jackass. I doubt any of Big Brown's 5 previous races were the length of the Belmont.

Well, BB had run 3 races in his life before the KD, and then ran 3 races in 5 weeks (One longer that the next). I think that takes a lot out of a horse when he has to come back in that 3rd race against foes that have been resting a month - see Curlin and Smarty Jones in previous years.

That trainer's a complete ***. The horse was falling back long before the jockey pulled him up.
