With the Breeders Cup just a month away, Bodog has announced it will be taking a financial position against Big Brown winning the country's richest horse race, the $5 million Breeders Cup Classic.
Having won both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, Big Brown is considered the best three-year-old in the country. Expected to face off against 10 rivals, including 2007 Horse of the Year Curlin, Big Brown will be the favorite amongst fans to win the Classic everywhere except at the Bodog Racebook.
Bookmakers at Bodog believe that Big Brown is a vulnerable favorite in the race and is giving horse players the chance to prove otherwise. Place a bet to win on any horse other than Big Brown in the Breeders Cup Classic and if your horse wins, you'll win. If Big Brown wins, you'll have your bet refunded.
"While Big Brown has proved himself to be one of the top race horses in the country, we firmly believe he will get beat in the Classic," says Morris Mohawk Gaming Group (MMGG) CEO Alwyn Morris (MMGG is the exclusive licensee of the Bodog online gaming brand in North America). "While it's rare for the house to take a position, this one is too obvious not to do so."
