Can Big Brown Win the Triple Crown? Odds Say Yes He Will

It's been 30 years since there has been a Triple Crown winner in horse racing. Will Big Brown end the drought this Saturday? Many have won two legs including several to win the first two, with Smarty Jones being the latest.

The latest 2008 Belmont Stakes odds have Big Brown as a 1/3 favorite to make horse racing lore. Make sure you check Saturday morning for the official offshore and Las Vegas morning line odds for the Belmont.

Casino Drive is the most likely spoiler at 7/2. Every other horse will qualify as a long shot. Denis of Cork is 10/1, while Tale of Ekati is 16/1.

Cy McCormick of the largest online betting syndicate in the world MasterLockLine.com says that Saturday won't be a great day for sharp gamblers to exploit the bookmakers, be they offshore, Las Vegas or OTB.

"Most of our top horse racing handicappers think the finish will be similar to the order the oddsmakers order," wars Cy Mac.

However, NewBodog has some wacky propositions such as Will Big Brown win the Belmont Stakes going wire to wire? Will Big Brown tie or beat Secretariat's record of a 31-length win in 1973? 

Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy of GodsTips says there is one prop bet that jumps out big time. Will Big Brown race again after the Belmont Stakes? No is -155, but Duffy says the odds should be more like -500.

"If he wins the Triple Crown, he will be retired to stud. Risking him by racing again would be financial suicide."

The options are many for bettors. Will Big Brown's winning time in 2008 Belmont Stakes be faster than that of Affirmed - 2:26 4/5. in 1978? Will Belmont Park attendance for the 2008 Belmont Stakes exceed that of 120,139 in 2004 when Smarty Jones attempted to win the Triple Crown?
