Big Brown's last race will be....
 

With a stallion deal almost finalized, it's time for us to begin thinking about the end of Big Brown's racing career.

Will his final race be:

A) The Preakness
B) The Belmont Stakes
C) The Kentucky Derby

The Belmont

Japan Cup Dirt

Here's is what I would like to see:

-Win the Preakness
-Win the Belmont
-Win the Jim Dandy
-Win the Travers
-Win the JCGC
-Win the Breeders' Cup Turf
-Win the Malibu
-Win the Dubai World Cup
-Lose to Zanjero in the Grade I Stephen Foster

Then retirement.

The Breeders Cup (Turf) Mile...

Unlikely of course, but it would be fun to see this horse run back on the turf.

The Preakness

Over/under on ten lifetime starts for Big Brown?

O/U Would probably have to be 6

I'd go under the number in that case.

O/U 7.5. If healthy, he'll run the triple crown, Haskel, Travers, once against olders, then first on synthetic in the Classic where he finishes a miserable 8th at 3-5 odds.

Possible, but with the way he runs on turf, I don't think synthetic would slow him down too much.

I agree. After Steve Haskin read the IEAH statment from Dutrow on ATR, I might be willing to wager the Kentucky Derby at the right price. I'll go with the Preakness.

It's frustrating how we've been conditioned to think like this, when is a horse's last time start in May of his 3-year-old year.

If he wins the Preakness, his last race is the Belmont. If he loses the Preakness, that's it.

If he loses the Preakness, I'm sure some mystery ailment will show up and that will be it. Otherwise it's the Belmont.

The last race was the Kentucky Derby

why won't he run again? you really think he won't go to maryland?

The Preakness....foot problems won't let him get to the "test of champions"

How much can he really be worth right now with his ped and very few accomplishments?

Apparently 50 million dollars :eek:
