Big Brown, the winner of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, will race out of Post 1 in the 2008 Belmont Stakes on Saturday.
Big Brown, who was the odds-on favorite for both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, will be the favorite again in the 140th Belmont Stakes.
Post 1 has produced the most winners of the Belmont Stakes (23) since 1905.
Big Brown was installed as the early 2-5 favorite against nine horses Wednesday for the 1 1/2 mile race at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York.
Big Brown is 5-0, winning by a combined 39 lengths. If he wins the Belmont, he will become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed did it 30 years ago.
The last horse that came into the Belmont after winning the Kentucky Derby and Preakness was Smarty Jones in 2004, who lost the Belmont.
Casino Drive has 7-2 odds, joining Big Brown as the only horses with single-digit odds. Casino Drive will be placed in Post 5. Denis of Cork is third with 12-1 odds. _________________
