I also won't care that 95% of the experts will say he beat nothing. They all said the same thing about Seattle Slew. If Brown wins the race and people don't take time to appreciate the accomplishment, then they can wallow in their overly self-righteous indignations. Then they can wait another 30 or 100 years for the next undefeated TC winner to come along.

You act as though real racing fans are disappointed year after year that there is no TC winner....let alone an undefeated one. Real racing fans know what a truly special horse is and are excited by seeing it race. Sorry, but real racing fans are disheartened by horses that are retired before having the opportunity to show how good they may actually be.
When Big Brown takes on Curlin in the Fall and even runs a close second I will applaud him. Until then, barring a sensational performance, I will pass on accepting his accomplishments as remarkable. He is nothing more than a very nice horse beating up on mediocrities. Nothing wrong with that and I wish there were more of his kind around. However, pardon me if I don't get goose bumps when he romps over 7 overmatched, and at best moderately talented, rivals.
