Plus, if Big Brown makes the lead, one-by-one they'll take their shot. This scenario is what I expected with Casino Drive.

Da Tara is just another horse with speed, which doesn't help, but Tale of Ekati is a horse with some ability to make things difficult for BB, at least for a little bit.

Looking at the field, most of them dont even have enough speed to get a position, let alone bother BB. Plus I think many of the jocks will just be riding for second money anyway.
