Who will be racing against Big Brown in the Belmont Stakes?

Question

I'd like to find a list of the competition and/or an explanation of how it is determined.

Answer 1

It won't matter who Big Brown is runnung against. Didn't you see the Preakness? He could have won by 10 lengths if Kent wanted to. The race was over at the top of the stretch. Did you see the view from the Helicopter? He actually pulled away by 5 lengths in 4 seconds. He is just to good for the 3 yr olds this year. I am not saying he is another Affirmed or Secretariat but he is whipping these bunch of 3 yr olds with ease. He will be 1 to 9 in the Belmont and win again easily.

Answer 2

big brown raced against B graders today thats why he walked in....... he will be tested in the belmont! by casino drive

Answer 3

Casino Drive will beat Big Brown

Answer 4

There's nothing definite now, and there won't be for a little while.  In the next couple of weeks, trainers will start committing their horses to the Belmont, and sometime in the week before the race, final entries will be posted.  If you want to follow this, your best bet is to check websites such as http://www.bloodhorse.com/ or http://www.ntra.com/races.aspx?id=29971&... which will be updated as contenders come forward.  Usually the field is much smaller than the Derby, so selection probably won't come down to earnings like it is in the Derby.

As of right now Casino Drive, Tomcito, and Denis of Cork have indicated that they plant to run.  After the Derby, Tale of Ekati's trainer said he would go to the Belmont.  I'm guessing that Recapturetheglory might go if he's over his fever.  I'm not sure how serious Behindatthebar's bruise is, but if he can recover, I'm sure his owner will want to run him in at least one Triple Crown race this year.

Answer 5

Won't it just be the same horses that have been in the other 2 races? (In case I'm insanely wrong, please don't laugh; I'm not quite educated the the Triple Crown).

Answer 6

As far as I am concerned it doesn't matter.  The way Brown got cut off and came around to win without even one swat of the whip convinced me!

Answer 7

dont' be suprise but proud spell can beat the big brown if she runs.pyro,with a clean trip will be too dangerous .
