Birdstone was a Grade 1 winner on the Belmont surface handled by one of the best trainers in the sport. He also went on to win the Travers to support he was a talent. Other then Casino Royale who has race 2 times in his career what the heck does Big Brown have to beat.. Also Smarty was totally screwed be Bailey and friends. Other then that NOTHING lol
