The Belmont Stakes

I'm not a professional handicapper. And as a handicapper my area of expertise is NFL money lines, not the ponies. But it's the sport of kings and it's amazing what a $1 superfecta can win. Big Brown is the prohibitive favorite (2-5, bet $5 to win $2) but he has issues. Think Curt Shilling's bloody sock type of issues. So I'm gonna take a crack at my top 4. I don't ask for much but if I give out the winners and you rake in the dollars, buy a round for the bar. OK?

WIN
Denis of Cork (12-1)

PLACE
Big Brown (2-5)

SHOW
Icabad Crane (20-1)

4TH
Anak Nakal (40-1)

There you go. Win, eat, drink at be merry. Remember, Big Brown is sponsored by Hooters. I don't know if they have any specials if he wins, but bug your waitress anyway. Girls love difficult guys.
