Triple Crown

I really do want to see a Triple Crown-we've waited 30 years, I just wish trainer Rich Dutrow wasn't such a bumptious braggart! Poor Big Brown having to listen to Dutrow's blathering.

Oh well, you will not pay your kids' college tuition betting on Big Brown who already is 1-9 in the wagering. With the hoof problem and hot, humid weather, we'll see if we can make a few bucks.

I'll box Denis of Cork, Macho Again and Tale of Ekati in an exacta and triple box. I will also put those 3 horses underneath Big Brown in an exacta as a "saver wager". Any exacta with Big Brown on top will pay peanuts. In the early wagering, a Big Brown/Casino Drive exacta would pay $3.20. Doesn't that get your motor running? NOT. Another saver bet is $2 show on each horse and hope Big Brown runs 4th or worse. That would guarantee triple-digit show prices. That would cost $18. If Big Brown wins or finishes in the money, you'll get back $6.30- so, not a total loss.

Let's see if history gets made.


May the horse be with you,
