If Barbaro could've, then Big Brown surely can. Maybe they should point him for the Arc.

I mean, he won his maiden on grass by a pole beating a bunch of shitboxes.

Barbaro's turf races were against shitty competition, and people act like he could have won the Epsom Derby off of the Delaware Futurity.

Barbaro was a VERY good turf horse. I think they should put Big Brown back on the turf - easier to keep him sound that way and he's already proven himself on the dirt enough stud-wise.
