As I recall, when a 3yo with just six career starts runs a big new top, and has just three weeks rest between starts, he's a high percentage bounce candidate.
I know I've heard a few Ragozin Sheet experts (Hardoon) say that Big Brown actually has a good pattern going into the Derby. He was supposed to bounce in the Fla Derby - but made a slight forward move instead - and goes into the race with five weeks rest.
I'm not exactly one who buys into this stuff anyway.

Big Brown a good pattern, only a Ragozin guy would say that.
As far as Z Fortune, give me a second....
