I agree with you. I will be betting on him. And rooting for him.

I think it's reasonable to assume Casino Drive will improve off his Peter Pan, and Big Brown has a million rights to regress.

And if you believe in Beyers, it's arguable they are already closer than some would say.

(For the record, I am both mocking the hype, and adding to it.)

oh i know. i was playing along because i like him a little too. i don't buy into the beyers unless the horses are evenly matched. when horses run away and hide like this horse does and BB does, you really don't know whats up until they race against each other. hell i've seen 30k claimers get high beyers when they run against crap thats inferior. people get carried away by how a horse looks when it wins easy. but even cheap horses look great when the comp sucks . people thought easy goer was the shiznit until he met sunday silence. bernardini was sliced bread until he got diced by invasor. those beyers go only so far or else people would be right every race.
