Trained by Michael DiPaulo, the Silver Deputy gelding finished second in his only other try on turf before the Cup & Saucer.

Actually, the race was carded at mile. But, this is Gulfstreampark.com, so, ANYTHING goes.

I guess I'm curious to see Big Brown to run on dirt anyways. Any idea on what type of race that has come back? I only distinctly recall seeing one horse out of it, a month or so ago at GP, and he didn't run well.

He's never run on the dirt. My guess is he's a total bet against.

Why's that? Because he will be overbet based on turf and synthetic track form?

hoovesupsideyourhead 03-05-2008 12:58 PM

hes trained on dirt and his past runs make him competitive along with the trainer stats hes 1 for 1 and his past says hes ok turf to dirt and off the layoff
dont they have a picture of your mug for hrtv?..just a phone..lol he just called you sTurling

blackthroatedwind 03-05-2008 01:06 PM

I didn't know you witnessed his workouts.

As for HRTV not having my picture......it was their gain.

hoovesupsideyourhead 03-05-2008 01:07 PM

Sweet!

Thanks!

The HRTV crew is going crazy over Big Brown. I've heard the name Curlin. I've heard he's the buzz horse for the Kentucky Derby. They've already seemed to give him the Florida Derby. For what it's worth (and I know you all eagerly anticipate this)..Big Brown and Ready's Echo appear to me to be the horses to beat in the Florida Derby if they go there.
