you'll have to ask him, i'm out.

i have NO problem with people being fans at all, and i don't want to be seen as attacking one, so i'm thru.

"I'm thru." Who are you? Kent Desourmeux easing his horse at the top of the stretch at Belmont.

You aren't attacking. I appreciate your insights agree or disagree. I apologize for the two being ancient references. It was only meant in fun and trying to counter my limited knowledge. You are clearly a wealth of knowledge in this sport, and I do learn from reading your posts. I wish you would stay in this.

the 'ancient' references were funny, i can appreciate a good line regardless of where it's directed.
my real point in all this is that you have a point of view you feel is a legit one-but others have their POV as well--and people who aren't quite as up on big brown as you are probably have a good reason for it.
at any rate, enjoy him while you can-because the brief story running was that iavarone might run brown next year, when in fact it's not true. iavarone said apparently an interviewer took his 'ieah might do anything' comment to mean big brown might run as a four year old. i'm hoping jackson changes his mind about running curlin at santa anita-altho i think it's a slim hope. he was willing to try turf, i wish he'd be willing to try the AWT as well.
