i think it's just the morning after blues...some of the horses who might not go will come out of the derby fine, and plans will change.
or maybe they won't. but the preakness will not just get handed to big brown, nor will the belmont or triple crown.
remember the gang tackle of smarty a few years ago in elmont? if big brown wins it, he'll earn every bit of it.
but he has to win it...i've seen writers already giving him the preakness. but we've been there before, more than once. there's a long list of horses, some more seasoned and some who turned out to be truly great, who came up short.
good, lucky, healthy...he needs all that and more.
