Thinking 75K easy.

It would be the sports media NON-EVENT of the year. Maybe they can start a new channel called WHO GIVES A S*IT and show it live.

Big Brown vs Curlin a non-event? or are we talking about something else.

Depends if Nick Zito can upset the apple cart, again.

It's not like these two horses are anything near the all-time greats of the sport. Compound that with the fact that both trainers of said horses are shining examples of what is wrong with the sport, and a horrendous betting race and you have a non-event.

Why anyone would care about an overrated matchup is beyond me. I'd rather have both connections fall off the face of the earth.

And only on September 13. Convenient dodge, eh?

With Dutrow running his mouth again, it reminds me of one of my favorite movie lines (Doyle Lonnegan to Henry Gondorff in The Sting): "Not only are you a cheat, you're a gutless cheat as well."
