    Racing Big Brown goes for triple crown at Belmont

    Big Brown just cruised to the 2nd leg of the triple crown at the Preakness. This horse looks like a real Triple Crown threat at Belmont in 3 weeks.

    People said the same thing about Silver Charm, Real Quiet, Charismatic, War Emblem, Funny Cide, and Smarty Jones.

    he's definitely got a shot, but Belmont is tough.

    This horse blew away the field today, so I think he is legit.

    The difference here is that the competition is looking VERY weak.

    But you would make some money if you tie him with the horses that come in 2nd and 3rd. The bet shouldn't cost as much as they usually do because the size of the field isn't going to be a big as lets say the Kentucky Derby. At that rate you have all your bases covered and lets say it finishes like this.

    Win: Big Brown-1:4 odds
    Place: Another Horse: 50:1
    Show: Another Horse Again: 50:1

    That turns out to be a good bet. The only way you get screwed is if the top 3 odds on favorite really win. And because Big Brown is such a huge favorite the other horses may have pretty good odds. I love horse racing and have been riding since I was little.

    Right, that's what I'm expecting to do, maybe bet an Exacta or Trifecta and pair Big Brown with another horse or two, or maybe a Quinella if I don't feel so good about Big Brown due to some news. However, you can definitely know that I won't be pairing Big Brown with another two horses that pull 50:1 odds. That would be a longshot.

    That would be a bigger payoff if it hits though.


    Just don't pick the 2nd and 3rd choices. Go with a moderate horse that has showed some kick in the end of a race previously. The Belmont race is the longest of them all.

    Is the Belmont Stakes actually the last race on the card?
