Big Brown looked doubtful

Think I saw a 106 Beyer for Big Brown for the Haskell, for what it is worth.

Dutrow on BB vs. Curlin - has the guantlet been thrown down?

"Curlin couldn't win the Derby, we could," Dutrow said. "Curlin couldn't win this race, we could. Curlin got beat [by] a filly. We haven't. Our horse is undefeated on the grass. Curlin isn't. I don't know why people think Curlin is such a good horse. We're way better than Curlin."

No way did he spew that nonsense. No way. This takes the cake for ridiculous Dutrow comments. What a toolbox.

Curlin would squash Big Brown without breaking a sweat.

Classless...even by his standards

Maybe IEAH should insist that their trainers are drug free too. It's probably easy to talk about Curlin since BB will probably be retired and not have to face him.

omg, you gotta be kidding me. big brown was all out to beat a horse who couldn't even win an opt claimer last time out...the whole field he beat had two, TWO graded wins between the lot of them. undefeated on grass?! lol big freaking deal, judging by the grass win he got. you can't judge his grass win vs curlins second.
this guy is delirious. or burnt. maybe both.

we're way better than curlin?? someone get this guy some help.

This kind of stuff is much easier to say when your horse will never face Curlin. I'd be shocked if they ever line up in the same starting gate.

perhaps he'll run in the super derby next, since it seems the penna derby has already also been taken off the schedule. i don't see him taking on older, altho it would crack me up if he were to attempt maybe the JCGC, and have one of the older horses curlin has been beating up on dust his ass.
since curlin looks a no go for the classic, i'd say that the chances of the two meeting is nil.

oh, and for those who missed it, the arc is a definite NO for curlin-but i'm sure everyone already figured that.

perhaps Big Brown will be considering the Arc. after all he is undefeated on turf and according to Dutrow, a better horse than Curlin.

yeah, i was thinking along similar lines. but i don't see it happening.
as for the travers, and them claiming three weeks is too soon for the horse...well, i think skipping that race is due to the fact that it's a far more contentious field than what he faced on sunday, and he showed he's not the same horse he was in april and may.

How many former BC Turf winners competed against Big Brown in that MSW he won on the turf?
