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.

Good crop, bad crop, it is what it is. I am not debating that it's not a great crop -- even a bad one. I am pointing out that before the race the fact was an afterthought or also ran as a reason why Big Brown wouldn't, couldn't, win. Now that he's won -- the crop is the # 1 justification, rationalization, vacillation or whatever you want to call it.
Hey, I am not surprised. Just amused, LOL.
