Along with UPS and Kent Desormeaux, Hooters has jumped on board Big Brown in the colt’s quest for the Triple Crown in Saturday’s Belmont Stakes. And, no, Desormeaux will not be wearing orange shorts and a skimpy tank top. Rather, the restaurant chain’s logo, an owl whose eyes are seen in the word Hooters, will be stitched into the side of the jockey’s pants. A UPS logo also will be visible, as it was when Desormeaux guided Big Brown to victories in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes. Trainer Rick Dutrow Jr., meanwhile, was amused when a bevy of Hooters girls appeared at Belmont’s Barn 2 for a photo shoot with Big Brown and Desormeaux. “It’s not bad,” Dutrow said Thursday of Big Brown. “He likes the women.” The Associated Press
