Default How good is Big Brown?

Dutrow stayed home to saddle this horse and Diamond Stripes and Benny the Bull won races worth a total of $3million!
Is Rick hitting the hookah or is BB a monster?

I don't think big brown wins, but thats just me. The horse has too much to overcome and has yet to show he can run with higher class horses.

He isn't winning the KY Derby. I think we all overvalued what was in this field. And I was one of them. Elysium Fields looked like **** (washed out bad) and nothign else ran. Smooth Jazz ran well but flattened out.

I had 20 across on smooth air and thought I was a lock when he started moving and seeing those quick fractions. Erghhh Big Brown is a monster, Scavs.

best of the crop,
but we still need pyro to win his prep, and hopefully war pass wins the wood or we aren't going to get value. He did the "impossible" too easily. The post was supposed to cost him 5-8 lengths even with his tactical speed.

I agree, whose going to stop him? Plus he gets better as he gets more experience.
