Winning the triple crown of horse racing is said to be the most difficult of all sporting achievements. 3 races in 5 weeks with the final one at Belmont Park and a brutal 1.5 miles. The only horse who could have beaten Big Brown is Casino Drive and he SCRATCHED, out of the race. Big Brown easily won The Kentucky Derby and The Preakness Stakes by a total of 10 lengths.
I still like Macho Again, don't know if he can beat him but at his 20-1 price he's a good win, place, show bet. I'll probably do a 5 dollar exacta wheel on big brown with ALL in hopes that a high odds horse comes in second.
ESPN coverage all day until 5:30 where ABC picks up for the big race.
