Will that be the case with Big Brown? We can't know that at this point, but saying he will have no problem with ten simply because he got nine with no problem is not accurate.
In this particular case, my opinion is that his pedigree is a bit ambiguous, and doesn't really tell us much about whether or not he might like the added distance.
LOL, read what hockey said again. I don't think he was speaking in slang.
