It is no secret that the consensus out there is that Big Brown will be unstoppable at this year's Belmont Stakes, the last leg of the Triple Crown. Not only did Big Brown win the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, but he pretty much dominated the track in both races.

Big Brown's bid for immortality will continue at the Belmont and the word is, as far as competition goes, Casino Drive is the one to watch.

Casino Drive's showing at the Peter Pan Stakes showed his maturity, and is the best-bred Belmont Stakes contender in the world. Casino Drive's half-brother is Jazil, winner of the 2006 Belmont who is a relative of Rags to Riches, the champion filly who defeated Curlin at last year's Belmont Stakes.

At a mile and a half, the Belmont is the Triple Crown's toughest race. The last 10 bids for the Triple Crown have failed, most recently Smarty Jones in 2004.

However, it seems as though the world is behind this confident thoroughbred. He hams it up for the cameras; his ears perk when he sees the flash because man, he's just born to be a star.

Trainer Richard Dutrow share's in Big Brown's confidence.

"We're going to win the race," Dutrow tells reporters.
