I love conspiracy theories, and that starter standing on the track in the same lane and spot Secretariat took in 1973 sure looks ominous.
And the
white pants?
Sheesh.......was he wearing a white belt, too?
Immediately pre-race I think the national media was reporting $5.9 million had been bet at Belmont alone on Big Brown to win.
I was a bit suspect at the $48,000 superfecta payout when the solid chalk ran off the board, and the three longest shots on the board were in the Top 4.
I really thought the payout would have exceeded 48K and change, DH for 4th or not.
Not to mention the $3,700 trifecta with the two longest shots on the board in 1st and 3rd.
