Heading into this weekend’s highly anticipated Kentucky Derby, Big Brown is a favorite to win and leave it to UPS (of the “What Can Brown Do For You?” slogan) to capitalize on a perfect sponsorship opportunity. A match made in heaven, some might even say.

“Having UPS riding with us on Saturday is a tremendous honor, and we look forward to cheering on our horse in one of the greatest sporting events in the world,” said Richard Schiavo, co-president and CEO of International Equine Acquisitions Holdings Inc., which owns IEAH Stables.

In most sportsbooks Big Brown is the 5/2 odds on favorite to win the Kentucky Derby.Horse racing expert Steve Davidowitz lists Big Brown as his top pick. Here’s what Davidowitz has to say about the UPS sponsored thoroughbred: “Undefeated, freakishly fast colt who won from post 12 in the Florida Derby has a history of hoof problems, but worked smoothly twice since that race at Palm Meadows training track. Chances were helped by War Pass going to the sidelines with small leg fracture.”
