Beyer still not sold on Big Brown

[Danzig]

just because big brown won, does not make him a fast horse-just faster than what he faced, which wasn't much. it's a shame that he hasn't faced much of quality, since it lessens whatever he accomplishes. but it's hard to warm up to a horse who just barely breaks three digits in a classic race. i've seen better, tons better. but what can you do?

Sounds like you need a week at a BEYER detox facility.

To loosely quote my good friend Vanderbilt (from F-Troop), asked what type of woman he wanted when O'Rourke and Agarn were ordering mail order brides: "I just want a girl named SHirley; they all look the same to me".

speaking of "tons better"

But if he wins the Belmont winning these three races in the five weeks is quite an accomplishment. We've seen better horses fail.....

if

and yeah, it's an accomplishment. but there's no way i'd put this horse on par with many who have won it, or came close but couldn't pull it off for one reason or another.
he's gotta win it first tho.
