Yep, Big Brown did it again last weekend, making us here at OddJack a perfect 2-0 now on this year’s Triple Crown trail. How about that huh?

Big Brown won the 2008 Preakness Stakes at Pimlico after winning the Kentucky Derby, making him merely a win away from the elusive Triple Crown. It was a huge payout for us too because, like most of you probably, we were riding the ”Big Brown bandwagon” again and I got to tell you, it was like having your own ATM machine. Hee hee…

With Big Brown already winning two of the three races for the Triple Crown, the focus now shifts for the 2008 Belmont Stakes. Hell, these guys around Big Brown were so confident that they were already talking about the third leg of the Triple Crown trail even BEFORE the second leg was underway.

Of course, Big Brown winning the Belmont Stakes to capture the 2008 Triple Crown series title will indeed make horse racing history since it’s been a while since this sport had a Triple Crown winner.

But the fact of the matter is, it’s still a little too early to talk about that, right now, we should just probably admire the colt and how he dominated the field again for the second straight race. (Or, you can just continue admiring the way the hot and sexy Maria Sharapova moves around a tennis court, making those itsy bitsy little skirt of hers fly…)

As for Big Brown, he did not disappoint horse racing fans after winning the…

Yep, another boring weekend is upon us as this godforsaken bloodsport continues with the Preakness at Pimlico.

But first, I heard those folks from Bodog are offering something for all ya’ll.

Now that THAT is out of the way, the 2008 Preakness Stakes, running for the 133rd time this Saturday, will have the top thoroughbreds of the world assemble at the Pimlico race track looking to be crowned the new champion of the ”Run for the Black-Eyed Susans.”

Kentucky Derby champion, Big Brown, is the heavy favorite to win the 133rd Preakness Stakes this Saturday. After winning the first leg of this year’s Triple Crown trail, all eyes will be fixed on the colt as he looks to continue his run to become…

Yes, they’re offering this probably to bring in new fans of this bloodsport.

It’s a special promotion from Bodog for the 2008 Preakness Stakes that aims to give a $50 bet for a new depositing player who signs up and deposits a minimum of the same amount. This special promotion is available today until Saturday. This is probably the right time to cash in on Big Brown’s success eh?

Remember, you have to deposit $50 first to receive the bonus and all ya’ll who already have an existing account, unfortunately, can’t join this promo for the Preakness. Speaking of this Saturday’s race…

Big Brown, the fancied 3-year-old colt who dominated the Kentucky Derby last May 3, will gallop once again for the 2008 Preakness Stakes at Pimlico on Saturday, looking to follow up on his win at Churchill Downs and keep his hopes of a Triple Crown title alive.

Usual exercises for Big Brown, with jockey Michelle Nevin guiding him to the race track, were made in preparation for this Saturday’s big race. Trainer Richard Dutrow said Big Brown went well in his trip around the course, limiting the colt to…

Yes, this godforsaken horse racing event is still on in this first Saturday of May. Imagine that.

And just in case you’re most of us, that is ”I could give a rat’s ass about horse racing,” the godforsaken horse racing event we’re talking about here is the 134th Run for the Roses. Otherwise known as the 2008 Kentucky Derby.

You read it people, the gates are already set and the horses already have their respective positions for Saturday’s 134th Kentucky Derby to kick off the 2008 Triple Crown series. Starting off at gates one to five are Cool Coal Man, which has 20-1 odds t win it all, Tale of Ekati – 15-1, Anak Nakal – 30-1 and both 20 – 1 long shots, Court Vision and Eight Belles.

Kentucky Derby rookie Gabriel Saez has the call on Eight Belles, who brings a four-race winning streak into the Run for the Roses. ”We’re going to give it a whirl,” said Eight Belles trainer Larry Jones, who finished second in last year’s Derby with Hard Spun.

”If she runs her race against the colts and doesn’t get intimidated we feel like she can be right there.”

While on gates six to ten, 3-year-old colt Z Fortune by trainer Steve Asmussen has 15-1 odds to win, Big Truck follows at the seventh spot, while Visionaire takes the eight. Pyro, who won the Louisiana Derby before…

The horse racing season officially begins with the Kentucky Derby people. Yes, we’ll pretend to be excited about it.

Every top three-year-old thoroughbred in North America will be vying for the 2008 Triple Crown series title, starting with the 2008 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville on May 3 this Saturday.

The Kentucky Derby is also known as ”The Run for the Roses,” because a lush blanket of red roses is awarded to the Kentucky Derby winner each year. The Kentucky Derby, a one and one-quarter mile (2.012km) at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, is the first leg of the Triple Crown championships.

The horse that comes out to win this one will normally be an instant favorite heading to the Preakness Stakes, the second leg of the 2008 Triple Crown series. If the horse wins THAT and goes on to win the third and last leg of the series, which would be the Belmont Stakes, that horse will be the new Triple Crown champion, something horse racing didn’t have for quite a while.

The Churchill Downs racetrack in Louisville, Kentucky always hosts the oldest and most popular consecutively held thoroughbred horse racing event in the United States on the very first Saturday of May. The first jewel of the Triple Crown, the…

Yep, it’s that time of the year when everybody (well, some of us anyway…) start talking about the Triple Crown series.

The 2008 Kentucky Derby is a Grade I stakes race for three-year-old thoroughbred horses, held annually in Louisville, Kentucky, to be run on May 3, capping the two-week-long Kentucky Derby Festival.

The Kentucky Derby is a one and a quarter mile (2 km) race held at Churchill Downs to kick off the 2008 Triple Crown series. Colts and geldings carry 126 pounds and fillies 121 pounds.

It is known in the United States as ”the most exciting two minutes in sports” for its approximate duration. The first leg of the Triple Crown (to be followed by the 2008 Preakness Stakes and then the Belmont Stakes..) typically draws around 155,000 fans.

The Kentucky Derby is frequently referred to as ”The Run for the Roses,” because a lush blanket of 554 red roses is awarded to the Kentucky Derby winner each year. The tradition is as a result of New York socialite E. Berry Wall presenting roses to ladies at a post-Derby party in 1883 that was attended by Churchill Downs founder and president…
