I think this is the 3rd versioon of the same question, but at 75%, I'll take my chances of a void. Did another horse even finish second in the Preakness? The jockey even admitted that he let him glide to the win...

Has anyone watched this stuff for the last 40 years? This nearly neverrrrr happens, it's like winning the superbowl 3 times in 5 months, if it were possible to even play 3 superbowls in 5 months, how many times do you think a team would win it all 3 straight?
History is against it, simple math is against it and you should all be against it too, haha, otherwise, I'll be the only one making bank when this horse doesn't win in a few weeks :-D

This horse seems to be a force of nature. The jockey slowed this horse down in the preakness and still won by a wide margin. This horse seems to be stronger than Smarty Jones the last horse to have a good chance at this hat trick.

@lucid...yes, very rare indeed! Although I did read stories about other horses dropping out after Big Brown's performance in the derby. Think there was only one other derby horse in the Preakness. As far as odd's, yes still a long shot, but that's what makes it exciting and I definitely like the odds more after 2 of 3 than 1 of 3...especially after an impressive win.
Speaking of superbowls...hopefully, Big Brown will not turn in to another "spygate," with allegations of videotaping opponents somehow being used to win successive events. :)
