Who exactly would he have to hold off? Red Rocks, Better Talk Now and Grand Courterier? All nice horses, all really nice horses, but so is Big Brown and the switch back to turf may be key for him. I would think he would have a great chance to win this race. Curlin was 6/5 against this group, so is it that far fetched to see Big Brown at around maybe 3/1? He has after all already proven he can run and run well on the turf.
Sure, his worst 2 races by far were his last two, but maybe 7 weeks off and the change back to the green would perk him up?
