Can Big Brown go the distance?

It might sound like a crazy thing to do, but betting against Big Brown in the Belmont Stakes on June 7 might be a real good move. Big Brown is only getting 2/7 for the Belmont, so it would take a big bet to make any money. He may be a heavy favorite to win, but there are a couple of issues that could stop his run for the Triple Crown in its tracks.

First off, Big Brown has developed a crack in one his front hoofs. He has had problems with them in the past, and if he’s not 100% then I doubt that he can win. The second potential obstacle is the distance of the track. Brown is not a distance-bred horse, and the Belmont is the longest race in the Triple Crown. He’s going up against a field of horses bred for long races, such as the mile and a half track at the Belmont.
