losing money on belmont: betting the house on big brown

Come post time on Saturday Big Brown’s odds for the Belmont Stakes will most likely be 1 to 9. Meaning a 1 dollar profit for every 9 bet. Up until then we here at pimlico parking lot will be advising loved ones on how to lose all your money on that race, enjoy

Putting Everything you own on Big Brown.

Its just a house

Sure betting 90,000 will only get you 10,000, but its a sure thing why not?

90,000 + 10,000 = 100,000

Why this works: 2008 Florida Derby, 2008 Kentucky Derby from the 20 post, 2008 Preakness

Why this doesn’t work: Smarty Jones, Giacomo, Real Quiet, Casino Drive, Pearl Harbour (the movie), Ichiro, California Roll, Denis of Cork, subprime mortgages, the grassy knoll, the internets, sustainable development, the inside post, and your wife and kids,

belmont hype: casino drive, thank a you very much

below are Japan’s Casino Drive’s only two races. He’s seen as the biggest threat to Big Brown’s triple crown bid. Although I think Denis of Cork, who came from last place to finish 3rd in the Kentucky Derby has a better chance for the upset.

The Tokyo trained horse not only enjoys Karaoke, Imperialism, and Sushi, but he also has history on his side; he shares the same mother as the last two Belmont Winners, Jazil and fillly Rags to Riches.

She’s gets around

Casino Drive looks good but the only thing that upsets me is his name. Its not Japanese enough. Here are some name suggestions

Sashimi Sam
Crazy Hair
Tempura Tim

anyways watch these two vids carefully before betting your house on him. He’s the 8 horse in the first vid (listen to the commentary, he makes several jokes about American Idol and the Lakers and the tune at the end of the race is a jam) and he tears up the Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont Park in the other one. Oh ya his grand dad A.P. Indy (also the father of his half sis Rags to Riches; scandalous!) won the Peter Pan in 1992 and went on to take the Belmont after that
