Default Big Brown
The Derby favorite shows up today with a nice work in Florida. I hate chalk more than the next guy, but this guy's speed figures tower over an average group of 3 year olds. He is the horse to beat in 3 weeks!

I refused to play Bellamy Road in the Derby. There are two differnces in Big Brown and Bellamy Road. One is Bellamy Road had competition with comparable speed figures and looked as a dead bounce . The other is Big Brown has foundation figures that tower the field.

foundation figures ? i think your wrong.... i think this horse has no shot..... and another thing, realisticly your looking at 9-5 now with pyros flop today, on a horse who has raced 3 times.... the great curlin could not even do that last year

you can play him at those odds, i am thinking there is no way he is higher then 2-1, with dutrow and kent d being so confident, and a lot of it has gone public, there is no way this horse does not get pounded at the window, and i really dont think he has much of a shot.

I'll guess we'll find out in 3 weeks. If not Big Brown, find me a winner.

If you meant to be sarcastic, you should indicate it somehow. A front-runner in a 10f race with several other speed-burners, who has not shown he can handle straight dirt. Right. You should get good odds, at least.
