And for drawing the far outside post, things weren't exactly really difficult for him. It's not like he was three-wide the whole way. And I don't buy this "he outran everyone" stuff. No one attempted to run with him, so basically, he had it all his own way.

Nistle's Crunch totally ran off with the blinkers and would have more than ran with him if Julian hadn't resorted to a choke hold.

With Georgie Boy gone, who's run individual races even remotely as good as Big Brown?

People are playing pretend with themselves if they don't think Big Brown goes into the Derby as by far the best horse.

The reason to not like Big Brown's Derby chances is because he's a very poor fit for the race style wise.

I can't even imagine how far out there people have to be to think there is another horse who's best race is as good as his best race.

I'm very excited to bet Pyro - but he has no individual race that rates competitively with any of Big Brown's.

jeez, you guys are ruining it. let the suckers jump on the bandwagon. most of the people that put this horse on top bet once a year or are not following the kentucky derby over the years. or what happens to alot of people that are betting their money, they read the hype and become "fans". the only horse i am a fan of is one that makes me money at a fair price. big brown ain't it !
