Chad Brown is using a shotgun approach for the Grade 1, $300,000 United Nations Stakes at Monmouth Park on Saturday - and a bull's-eye is likely.

Brown has entered Money Multiplier, Silverwave, Kurilov, and Funtastic in the 1 3/8-mile turf race, all of whom are top contenders. Money Multiplier is the likely favorite in the nine-horse field following his repeat victory in the Grade 2 Monmouth Cup last month.

"He loves Monmouth. That's his biggest asset," Brown said.

Money Multiplier will start from post 5 under Joe Bravo. Silverwave has post 7 and Rajiv Maragh, Kurilov drew post 4 and will be ridden by Irad Ortiz Jr., and Funtastic has post 1 and Antonio Gallardo. They will all be separate betting interests. Brown said he intended to start all four horses.

The field also includes last year's U.N. winner Bigger Picture (post 8, Kendrick Carmouche) and Oscar Nominated (post 6, Eric Cancel) for trainer Mike Maker, plus One Go All Go (post 2, Chris Landeros), Profiteer (post 3, Trevor McCarthy), and Vettori Kin (post 9, Paco Lopez).

The Saturday Monmouth card has three other stakes, the Grade 3 Iselin, Grade 3 Eatontown, and Lady's Secret.
