**Triple Crown Attempt
4/5 because Curve and Curlin were running at him late in both legs. Did not blitz the field like Brown, Smarty, etc.
+100 (even money) offshore right now, down from +120 (6-5) earlier in the week

Agree, below even money.
Smarty Jones and Big Brown were undefeated going into the Belmont.
