Had Repole on ATR today and mentioned this news to him... Do you think the Dos Equis marketing people are even aware of 'Stay Thirsty'?

Was UPS aware of Big Brown before the Florida Derby? Probably not.

They should put a few Mexicans in the infield and see if they can get past the fence.

They were actually... Remember Paul Pompa is one of their largest contractors.

Which makes me wonder what Stay Thirsty's owners were thinking when he was named. I prefer XXX Dos Equis, but it's pretty hard to find here.

I hear ya, I mean more on a national level. After a maiden breaking score at Toga , the horse wasn't seen again till March I think so there wasn't really a groundswell.

I'm sure the Stay Thirsty gang can only hope for the kind of success Big Brown had...and maybe a longer career.

Dos Equis is alright. I like the "Stay Thirsty" connection.

I would have liked seeing these folks named instead:
