Dortmund: Can He Be Stopped?

Dortmund ain't Big Brown, and this also ain't 2008.

As your reasoning is vacuous.

2008 was a dreadful crop.

Not true for this year.

What's more vacuous than dismissing 2008 as a dreadful crop. Just because Big Brown beat every competitor he raced (throwing out the Belmont due to injury) doesn't make it a dreadful crop. His talent proved to be a man among boys. When you can win by 4 1/2 lengths from 5 wide at post 20, that speaks volumes. Only done once before in the early 20th century by the way.

I agree with you that this year's contenders look to be a strong group.

Dortmund's results this year, coupled with his pedigree and athleticism has me living in the past. To be precise, 2008

Big Brown was a nice horse, but that was an empirically bad crop.
