i absolutely disagree. this track surface is not the equalizer some claim it is. whatever everyone may think of big brown, he has been a picture of consistency compared to his opponents throughout his career. should big brown lose, imo there is no way you can suddenly elevate the winner, especially if it's an AWT specialist.
