The Belmont Stakes countdown has begun. Will Big Brown sweep the Triple Crown? (AP Images)

The Belmont Stakes, the final leg of the Triple Crown, sees its 133rd running on Saturday, June 7. The Bodog Racebook has all your Belmont Stakes odds, but before you place your bets, be sure you read up on your Belmont Stakes contenders.

Just 12 days before the final leg of the Triple Crown, Big Brown was undergoing reparations on his front left hoof, which had a quarter crack.

"Just a little hiccup on the way over there that's all it is," said trainer Rick Dutrow.

Dutrow and hoof specialist Ian McKinlay are not worried that Big Brown will miss the Belmont.

"I think things are very, very good," Dutrow said "I think it's probably a blessing in disguise that it happened at this time, and hopefully we get to sew this thing up and nothing else happens and we'll be as happy as we can be."

Hoof injury or not, Big Brown is the overwhelming choice for the Belmont win and of course, the Triple Crown sweep. The odds on Big Brown to win the Belmont Stakes are 2/7, which means you put down $7 to win $2. Big Brown is 2/3 of the way to becoming the 12th Triple Crown winner. Can he do it?
