Electrify and Big Brown

[eajinabi]

Same Card, Same distance but Electrify runs faster as far as times are concerned. the 1-2-3 finishers Forever Whirl stakes go 1-2-3 all around the track. Fl Derby doesnt have any closers even though thier were blistering fractions early and Tomicito was running passed dead horses. As of now I dont see BB winning the KY Derby.

I think the aim was just to start up about the 20th Big Brown thread in the last few days.

i wont have him on 1 ticket in the derby, think hes a total bet against... not on a pick 3 or pick 4, nothing

I really dont see how impressive his performance was considering it wasnt even faster than the other mile and one eighth race carded on the same day.

i was thinking that perhaps big brown's performance is being a tad bit overrated, but now that pg1985 has given him his endorsement, i think he's a lock to win the triple crown, then do the travers/arc double, capped off with a facile 42 length win against curlin in the bc classic.

There was another nine-furlong race that day, a Grade II for fillies, and it was run nearly four seconds slower than Electrify and Big Brown's times.

The other mile-and-an-eighth race was won by a margin of nearly 9 lengths. It's feasible, at least, that that was another outstanding performance.

I'd definitely agree it's feasible, but probable? I'm just thinking back to all the blowout Derby prep winners of the last five years who, for the most part, ran like absolute nags in the Derby.

I am no fan of the horse, but what wasn't impressive about it? He won from an impossible post, set quick fractions and kept going. Not to mention, I think it was the fastest prep yet. Did you have your eyes open when you were watching the race? Maybe that's it.

Not to mention, Electrify is pretty good, especially compared to the current crop of older horses not named Curlin.

Ahhh... A repeat of Saturday's clever Curlin Strategem, eh?
