Big Brown ridden by Kent Desormeaux won the Monmouth Stakes by a neck over the second choice Proudinsky Saturday in Oceanport, New Jersey. It was a race that the 3-year-old Big Brown could have easily lost. The field started to gang up on him near the top of the stretch, and he briefly appeared beaten. But he showed he is every bit as determined as he is talented. He refused to let another horse pass him in the stretch and, despite the narrow margin of victory, seemed to be going easily inside the final few yards. Big Brown covered the 1 1/8 miles on grass in 1:47.41.

The $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic will be an even tougher assignment for Big Brown, but it appears that he will be going into the race in top shape. Big Brown returned $3.20, $2.60 and $2.20. Proudinsky paid $3.00 and $2.40, and Shakis paid $2.80 to show. His next race will be the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic on Santa Anita‘s synthetic track on October 25.

The 2007 Breeders’ Cup Classic turned out to be a tight race between favorite Street Sense, who won the 2007 Kentucky Derby, and Curlin, who won the 2007 Preakness Stakes.

2008 Breeders’ Cup is the highly anticipated race between 2007 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner, Big Brown, and Curlin, who was rumored to run in the Arc de Triomphe in place of the Breeders’ Cup Classic. However, a second-place finish at the Man O’ War Stakes at Belmont Park in early July has left that trip to Paris up in the air; but neither Big Brown nor Curlin have been inked to meet up at Santa Anita Park – as of yet.

That being said, at this point in the race it’s more important that you understand how to bet on the Breeders’ Cup rather than who to bet on the Breeders’ Cup. Read the details.
