The horse was a clear favourite from a very early stage but the manner and style of the victory has seen many experts looking to Big Brown to save the day and the troubled industry.

As these two horses go head to head in the Belmont it is certain to be a night to remember for the horse racing world and one which could put a positive spotlight back on the industry. So who will do it?
