Big Brown will be racing for the Triple Crown in this weekend's… uh… which one happens in New York?  The Belmont Stakes?  Right.  That one.  And his stable of ladies promises to be delightfully tacky, yet unrefined.

If Big Brown makes it to the winner's circle, he will be greeted by busty Hooters girls in tightfitting T-shirts.

"We do have our logo right up on the jockey," Mike McNeil, vice president of marketing for Hooters of America, told the Daily News. "We'll have Hooters execs and Hooters girls in the winner's circle when the horse wins." [Must... resist... horsecock... joke.]

Fitting.  A thoroughbred made for riding surrounded by thoroughbreds made for riding.  That's some good synergy, Hooters.  And by synergy I mean boobs.

Casino Drive, a three-year-old stallion closely related to the last two Belmont Stakes winners, is garnering some talk as the horse that will thwart Big Brown's attempt at the Triple Crown. Big Brown's trainer, Rick Dutrow Jr., respectfully disagrees.

"He's got no chance of beating our horse," Dutrow told reporters Wednesday. "I'll be in the winner's circle when they get to the quarter pole. That's how I feel. I don't see that this horse can beat him."

What a fool!  If I were Casino Drive's trainer, I'd put that on the bulletin board in his stall to motivate him.  That's the kind of quote that gets professional athletes like horses fired up for a big competition. Or at least it would if horses weren't just big stupid animals who get scared of paper bags. 

One thing's for certain: Casino Drive is Japanese-owned, so God only knows what turns that horse on.  If you thought tentacle porn was creepy, wait 'til you substitute the little schoolgirl with a yearling filly.
