Magnificence returned yesterday at Hollywood with a win. There have been 3678 Threads about Big Brown and not a mention of her.

Racing hasn't stopped because of Big Brown....thank God.

Much like racing's problems won't stop with a Big Brown Triple Crown. We're a near-sighted society. Very good point.

Don't know what to make of that race. If you forced me to choose between great and piss...I'd choose the latter.

Not very good, had to work real hard to beat her stablemate actually, down the stretch she looked like she was beat, and beat bad but she grinded it out.....

Her boyfriend, BIGMACK, over at PA was all over that. In fact, he's been anticipating her return very eagerly as if she were his girlfriend away on vacation. Too bad she didn't exactly shine yesterday. Sort of like MACK finding his sweetie had gained a few pounds in the interim.

How many Threads on Eight Bells?

it was a long layoff, but she was all out to beat her unheralded stablemate yesterday. still she's undefeated and I guess still has a fair amount of upside.
i'm not convinced that she'll stretch out well, if that is what they intend to do with her.

It wasn't the most impressive return. But like other said, it was off a long layoff.. and on the cushion track. so who knows?

Maybe cause she looked like a shell of her former self?

It was definitely a disappointing comeback. . . I thought she'd be one of the best horses in training this year. . .

geeker2 · #13 05-19-2008, 12:17 PM

just barely got it done..but was carried quite wide at the top of the stretch...but still should have dominated..but didn't.

I never like the layoff excuse for a horse that was able to win their career debut. Especially as impressively as she did. That told me she could run well without having to round into shape. I was thoroughly disappointed in her return.

I mentioned her last week before she ran to let everyone know. She has always been on my radar for a comeback race and I was glad to see she won even by a nose.. Hope she stays sound and can show us what she is capable of.

I was not impressed at all and that spin that Headley threw out there was laughable, his barn comes out full throttle, not this need a race junk. She would get drowned right now by Zenyetta.
