Big Brown will make his run for immortality at the Belmont Stakes out of the No. 1 starting position as a result of today's draw for Saturday's third jewel of the Triple Crown. His chief rival, Casino Drive, is the No. 5 horse. There are 10 horses entered.

Naturally, the winner of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness is the favorite at 2-5. Casino Drive is 7-2.

For the Belmont, the No. 1 starting spot does not hold the same dangers as it might in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness because the starting field is smaller and the Belmont is a longer race. According to several Web sites, the No. 1 post position has been the most successful in Belmont history with 23 winners coming out of that gate. The No. 3 and the No. 5 spots have produced 13 winners each.

Here are the entries and the early odds:

1. Big Brown 2-5
2. Guadalcanal 50-1
3. Macho Again 20-1
4. Denis of Cork 12-1
5. Casino Drive 7-2
6. Da'Tara 30-1
7. Tale of Ekati 20-1
8. Anak Nakal 30-1
9. Ready's Echo 30-1
10. Icabad Crane 20-1
