Why a Night With This Stud Could Cost $100,000

Big Brown has an opportunity to make betters some big bucks at the Belmont Stakes June 7, to say nothing about the history he could make (which would be BIG BIG news). That is because in the past 125 years, only eleven horses have won the Triple Crown, a distinction awarded to the winner of the aforementioned race, in addition to April's Kentucky Derby and May's Preakness races.

With two wins down, Big Brown will now make his run to become the first Triple Crown winner in 30 years, and he is the 2-5 favorite in this weekend's Belmont Stakes. (That means you have to bet $5 to win $2, for more on how to cash in, check out MainStreet's betters' guide tomorrow.) In addition to his two major wins, Big Brown has also gone undefeated in his three other races, winning all five by a combined total of 39 lengths, and in the process bringing in more than $2.7 million in winnings. (Saturday's first place purse is $1 million.)
