Big Brown vs. The Others

[SCUDSBROTHER]

Zenyata, Curlin, and Big Brown in a 10f fight (that would be pretty good.) Somebody in a white robe should make it happen. Winner gets 10 mil. Call it the race of the century.

Z-Z-Zenyatta . . . Really?

Azeri is scheduled to come out of retirement to take on those "boys" in the SUPER CLASSIC. Paulson said she will be fresh and ready off the layoff, and should easily handle the likes of Curlin and Big Brown.

On a synthetic equalizing surface, Zenyatta would have an outside chance perhaps.

Zenyata would be fun.

an equalizing synthetic would be awesome if that meant that we also get the top 2 or 3 turf horses in the world to join in.
Keeneland's Poly?

zenyatta handled dirt at oaklawn...and we know curlin is beatable by a female..
would be an interesting race. but as far as an 'equalizing' surface...poly horses run well on that, and dirt horses on dirt-but you don't necessarily see anything equal when either set runs on the others' surface.

Well Curlin has never run on synthetic, so who knows?

Curlin's Preakness win was considerably more impressive than Big Brown's. That isn't even rationally debatable. Big Brown is a very nice horse who is beating significant lessers.

Yeah, I really wonder what this horse would look like in a more competive crop. I have to imagine they will be hard pressed to give this race much more than a 100 Beyer and he won as easily as can be.

I didn't pay attention to the other times but it's hard to believe the likes of Icabad Crane, Macho Again and Racecar Rhapsody ran over the low 90s which puts the winner around a 100. On the other hand, today's win was a very rare case of a horse that legitimately could have won by more.

Big Brown is pretty good. But he would have gotten his head handed to him by the Silver Charm - Touch Gold - Free House crew.....and at that time most of us were saying that Silver Charm wouldn't have been a deserving TC winner. How times have changed. At this point, however, I'm ambivalent. I'm very glad we have a horse going for the TC. If he wins....great. If he loses.....that's OK too. It's not going to change anything about the game either way.

I'll still be pounding away on the Sunday card at Belmont on June 8th regardless.
