At what odds will Big Brown be a good wager?

He'll be the biggest underlay in years

I've spent the past few days watching many of the preps of the major players in this field and Big Brown looks very impressive. I'm not touting him just yet, but at this point I'd be very surprised if he's not in the top 4.

i put 4-1. but thats as high as you went. he would have to be 10-1 before i would even think about it. 3 races 2 were meant for turf, the fla derby was 1 good race vs who ? turf because your feet hurt, to a mile and quarter on a track as hard as CD. good luck.

Well, can't we say that about any of the Prep races?
Don't forget the fact that Big Brown registered two consecutive 106 Beyers.
I'm looking hard, but other than Pyro I'm not seeing anyone else that has done that.

i hope so i'm using him. and all the "big brown" hype is coming to fruition just like i predicted. even on here where these folks are supposed to know horse racing . i've seen many big browns crash and burn on derby day. i could be wrong but almost every derby falls apart and someone comes late. its the perfect scenario for a horse like pyro .

TG stated last year that "most" derby winners are within 3 lengths of the lead going into the first turn. Horses that fit this profile and can get 10F will be tough to beat in any derby.
