Well then...I guess there's nobody. Big Brown is the next triple crown winner.

Talent Over That Anytime. They All Saw The Same Race I Did In Florida Out Of The 12 Hole And How He Did It. No Horse This Year Has Come Close To This Performance. I Touted Him From The Get-go,
That's Right I'll Blow My Own Horn. Steve Davidowitz Blogs, Chat Rooms And Forums Are For The Fans , Not Professional Writers As You Suggest, Hell You What All The Attention.
wow ... you picked a 5-2 shot in the derby....you are an expert! i lost.... do i care.....hell no i'll bet against the favorite next year too. just the way i bet. but when i win it pays more than 7 dollars.

It's really early to talk Triple Crown but it seems to be the obvious question on most people's mind when we have a derby winner.

The major difference what we have this year is the lack of depth of top 3 yr olds as we had in 2007.

So I guess unless someone shows some promise or ascension in their form, Big Brown may be the best chance of a triple crown winner in years.

Then Just one question, why am I not excited?

Good point Hossy. I didn't have the exacta or a thing for that matter.
Congrats to those that did. With that said, I just think this thing is a tank.
Looks real good.

The headline read; "Don't put your money on Big Brown in the Derby"

Ouch!

I've never rooted so hard against a Triple Crown winner as I will be this horse. Between the super light foundation, the crooked trainer, and the obnoxious owners, I just can't do it.
Well said. The horse made me a believer, but the connections are real tough to swallow.

The horse was not even that tired.
He is the best. He ran tough the whole
way.

Injuries stop him or else something we
have not seen yet:

A horse in front of him and to his outside
while he takes dirt in the face. They just keep
him wide cause he is so damn good.

And on that turn for home he very athletically
powered to the inside once clear. Pretty awesome.

But has yet to be trapped and eat some ground.
Got to see that, waiting to see him react to that.
Just cant envision the set up with this years group.
Should be interesting.

+1 Real hard to like.

Not to be confused with the horse.

After the Barbaro fiasco, in which TC talk was very strong after a similar Derby performance, I suppose people are resigned to not giving their hopes up anymore.

The difference this year is that there doesn't seem to be any Bernadini (who was still 12-1 in the Preakness nonetheless) on the horizon, unless that Harlem Rocker gets rerouted from Canada.

The Zito that won the first at Churchill today is obviously real nice, but I doubt we see him back so quick. Who else is there? I think the only thing that can get this horse beat in the next 5 weeks is himself (his feet).
This is so true

Well, our Derby winner cruised over a nondescript field (exception the utterly classy Eight Belles) in a race that started in 23:30, and slowed from there to a rather glacial 2:01:82, considering how fast the track was playing today.

Granted, he was never pressured and just did his own thing. But my gosh, the rest of them are indeed proving themselves terrible!
