Those who follow horse racing (I don’t think I qualify) note that Big Brown has three potential threats standing in the way of winning the 2008 Belmont Stakes and the Triple Crown: 1) History. It’s been 30 years since the last Triple Crown winner. 2) A slight crack in one of his hooves. 3) A Japanese Horse named Casino Drive.
One of those threats has been distinguished.
Now that Casino Drive is out, it would be a major upset if Big Brown doesn’t win the Triple Crown. (Or at least that’s what those in the know tell me.)
