Big Brown Odds to Win Belmont Stakes and Triple Crown
Robert K - June 7th, 2008 .The day has finally arrived. The horse that everyone is talking about is only hours away from history. And with its biggest challenger withdrawing out of the 2008 Belmont Stakes this morning, things are starting to look ominous. The scratching of the number two choice in the morning betting line means Big Brown becomes an even bigger favorite on race day. Perhaps his only legitimate contender is Denis of Cork. However there truly is no locks in horse racing. Don’t forget ten horses to win the Derby Preakness double failed to complete the Triple Crown.
