Here's a crazy thought. If the Japanese come for the Belmont and send it in like they did for El Condor Pasa in the Arc a few years ago, could Casino Drive be favored in the Belmont over a Big Brown going for a Triple Crown sweep?
Also, I'm sure the trainer's phone was ringing off the hook immediately after the race, with agents looking to secure the mount. Any sense as to whether they will use an American rider or will Take come for the ride (assuming Desormeaux may be otherwise tied up)?
