Why would they run Big Brown against Curlin? He can't beat him and he already has four Grade 1 wins on dirt. So they will run him on turf and synthetic and if he runs big in both of those it will increase his value tremendously. Bown's next two races are worth millions to the owners. Why would they give it away by trying to beat a horse they know they cannot beat? |

What's more attractive? Making him more valuable winning a turf stakes or sending him to slaughter vs Curlin? Of course they're ducking and talking empty trash. But when did you start believing what trainers and owners say? From what I remember reading, they sold 20-25% of him to 3 Chimneys for $10 Million. So they've got to enhance or maintain whatever residual value he has. Other than beating or running a tight 2nd to Curlin, it's not going to happen on dirt. |

I agree BB cant beat him. But then why does Iavarone suggest a match race? Thats the whole purpose of this thread. Iavarone is chickensh#t and knows BB cant beat Curlin on dirt in a real race. Thats why he suggested a type of race that he might have .000000000000001 % chance of winning vs Curlin. By the way...how is his next race at MTH worth Millions to the connections? It's a made up non-graded set up race. According to pig face Dutrow his horse can beat Curlin...... |
