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.

God/Jesus ` 10/1
Horse – Big Brown 3/1
Family or Family Member 6/5
Owner – IEAH Stables or partnership member 8/1
Trainer – Rick Dutrow 9/2
Fans/General Public 5/1
That one cracked me up. If it were Pat Day, "God/Jesus" would be 1/1.
