I agree that it seems to be over the top. A real shame the crop is so poor we have no way of measuring him up.

to me that is the real shame, that this one may be retired before we get any true measure of his talent. so we'll be forced to listen to people that want to put him on the pedestal with Secretariat. what a shame that after waiting all this time for a triple crown, it gets almost handed over to a horse that is never seriously challenged. Affirmed will be turning over in his grave, talk about earning a triple crown!

Just the way it is. Seems racing can't win at whatever they do. I do think he is a lot better a colt then must experts but my opinion is based on virtually nothing more then a gut feeling that would be crushed the minute he got passed in the lane..lol

He could be Seattle Slew and he could be Afleet Alex will never really know.

of course I don't know exactly how good he is either, i don't think anyone can be sure at this point. he rates somewhere up with the better horses, but without seeing at least one really fast race, its hard to put him at the very top.

Oh brother...that's all I had to say. This is getting way too silly. Big Brown is a nice animal, but to compare him to Secretariat I am just about to get sick.
