Personally, I said Big Brown was a "bet against" right from the get-go. No sour grapes here, nor celebrating as I didn't have the filly on one ticket. I took my stand, put up my money and watched that colt go right out and beat me.

The same thing happened with the Florida Derby. Before the race, it was a very good field, but afterwards, he beat a bunch of nags.
Of course the crop is bad. But we knew that before the race, and a lot of people still said Big Brown has no shot.
