I think we are still running against 2 yo's...

My point is its unfair to compare the two and only an idiot or Frank Lyons could suggest that Big Brown is better. I do think it's possible Big Brown could be better but it would take a 4 year old campaign not to mention the Travers, JGCC,and Breeders cup to determine. Will never know but the possiblity exists however remote.

Really?

I'm sick of people comparing every "now horse" to Secretariat.

It's like Liam Gallagher said when asked if Be Here Now was better than Definitely Maybe: "F**k Definitely Maybe. It's over."

Personally, I think Be Here Now is Oasis' best album. And the readers of Rolling Stone named it Album of the Year in 1997. Although Noel Gallagher thinks it's garbage.

Yes...instead, let's talk about Oasis...

Actually, isn't that more like comparing Big Brown's Derby to Big Brown's Preakness? Or Secretariat's Belmont to his Canadian International?

Wouldn't it be more like comparing Oasis's "Definitely Maybe" to the Beatles's "White Album"?

On a more relevant note, who would survive being double-barreled by either Big Brown or Secretariat, Noel Gallagher or Ian Brown?

I say Ian Brown. He knows karate and can speak Spanish (which given the nationality of most backstretch grooms, might be soothing to an angry horse)...

Hard to do. Music was so different then. But did you know that Definitely Maybe is still the fastest selling debut album in the history of Britain?

I believe it. Not only is the situation figuratively similar to flies on dogsh!t, but there might actually be a literal connection there, too.

Wow, Oasis. We need a throw-up smilie.

You really shouldve brainstormed just a little longer for a comparision.

Or, maybe the nature of my comparison is perfect considering the ridiculousness of this entire discussion.

if Secretariat ran his belmont in today's game he wouldn't have set the record. He would be well held until the turn and win by 10 or 15.

Possible but completely unlikely.. Seriously the horse has been pretty darn impressive. Granted he has beat swill. It is possible like it or not it's possible. I really hope the horse runs in the Travers Gold Cup and Classic and gets challenged by Curlin. I am know huge Curlin guy but apparently he is the only current threat

Isn't Frank Lyons employed somehow by IEAH ?
