ELMONT, N.Y. - Big Brown was the 1-5 favorite as the end of advance wagering on the 140th Belmont Stakes neared Friday evening. As of 6:45 p.m. Eastern, and with only $20,285 having been reported in the ontrack win pool at Belmont Park, Big Brown was the huge choice over Casino Drive (9-2), Denis of Cork (19-1), and Tale of Ekati (20-1).

Advance wagers from offtrack sites had not yet been merged into the Belmont pool, according to the track's totalisator department, and therefore a true representation of the odds might not have been revealed yet.

Big Brown is also an overwhelming favorite in the second leg of the Brooklyn-Belmont daily double. A $2 ticket combining Friday's Brooklyn Handicap winner, Delosvientos, with Big Brown will return $12.60. Handle on the two-day wager was $275,716.
