This question could have been asked and answered on one of the bazillion BB threads. Im already sick of this horse, knowing damn well ESPN hasnt even started it's stories on him. I am even irked by the UPS drivers and their trucks now.

Holy Bull's, btw.

Big Brown will have the same fate in this year's K-Derby like Holy Bull did in '94

[Gander]

None of these 3 year olds deserve to be compared to the great Holy Bull!
Without question, the answer to this question is Holy Bull.

The one thing Big Brown has going for him that Holy Bull didnt, is the lack of competition which will likely flatter Big Brown when its all said and done.

Competition is great for horse racing and what has been really lacking since this trend of horses retiring at the end of their 3 year old season started like 5years ago, a la Point Given, who supposedly "was injured". Ya right.

Holy Bull's.... by an easy 100 lengths...

[The Indomitable DrugS]

3 of them actual and 97 doctored?

GO FOR GIN who ran in that race would have beaten SMOOTH AIR and TOMCITO as well.

the Fla. derby this year had crap in it . i think 2 graded stakes winners at the most. tomcito isn't much . so, the florida derby this year was basically a 2 horse race. and i don't even know if smooth air is that good. all those horses that raced at tampa bay are turning out to be slow. big brown ran good but what did he beat....not much. but yet every year a horse runs good once and hes a super horse, big brown still has alot to answer too before i bet him in the derby at low odds .
