Regardless of how much you like his chances, 20-1 on the 10+ length margin of victory isn't a bad bet.

Really?

I would say there is a better than 4.7% chance he wins by more than 10 lengths.

I wouldn't.

If this is real, , the funniest thing is they list Ready's Image at 50-1.
Ready's Image should be 1,000,000 - 1, because he's a sprinter that's not even pointing to this race.
Ready's Echo, is the horse they are referring to, I assume.

I think betting against him running faster than Affirmed is a pretty safe bet.

In the last fifty years, the winner has broken 2:27 in this race only seven times. Six of those horses were Secretariat, Affirmed, Risen Star, Easy Goer, AP Indy, and Point Given.

Since Big Brown isn't in the same class as those animals, I expect he'll be slower than 2:27....unless the track happens to be lighting fast.

I agree totally. I'm not predicting he'll win by 10 or more, but I don't see how it would be a shocker considering this group he's running against and the fact that it isn't uncommon for the Belmont to be won by a fairly large margin. In fact, I'd say there are only 2 horses that have much of a chance to finish within 10 lengths of him.

Note that Bodog's line on whether Big Brown will race again after the Belmont is about +-300. That's saying there's just a 25% chance he will race again. I think they've got that about right.

Interesting. What happens if BB wins by 5.5 lengths? I think Bodog accidentally gave itself some extra edge there.


That one cracked me up. If it were Pat Day, "God/Jesus" would be 1/1.

--Dunbar

Dunbar, I would actually take that 10/1 for like $25, there is a good chance he does that hilarious crap right afterwards, especially if he wins

Below you will find the easiest 10-1 money on the face of earth. Every friggin athlete thanks God first, and it is so old to hear as well in my opinion. God is a big part but did not ride the horse, put the tires on, steer the car, make the shot, pass the ball, catch the touchdown pass etc etc.. You did. God gave you the gift and you used it. Off my soap box.

God/Jesus ` 10/1

Fans/General Public 5/1

God gave you fingers so that you could mute the TV too. ;)

That sort of bet amazes me. If IEAH has already decided he won't run after the Belmont is there anything preventing all of them from max betting on 'No'? It is free money.

Knowing Bodog, there is probably a low max on this bet.

More like 1/20 - and it would probably offer value at five cents on the dollar.

Huh? I think More Than Ready is more likely to run in this race than Ready's Image.

I'd take that bet.

I think Denis is probably the most likely to finish 2nd but I think you can get better than 9/2 in the exotics.

When will they be putting up the u/o on the saddle cloth #'s ?

There is ZERO chance that Big Brown runs after the Belmont. This is free money.
