I'm not sure he has that kind of Big Brown move in him.

I think Big Brown could have won that derby from any post position, but without Eskenderya, there isn't anyone good enough in Saturday's field to overcome a bad break or get shuffled too far back early.
I'm not worried much about Talamo. He's run in plenty of big races before.
My biggest worry with Sidney is the possibility of running on an off track for the first time.
