but to state you hate the horse is totally absurd.

That posters opinion is not unique. People who feel this way are missing the point. Big Brown can't run in a race with Citation, Seattle Slew, Affirmed and all the rest of the icons that have acheived greatness.
This horse has broken so many rules and while his competition so far has been weaker than he is. The horse has completely dominated . If he wins the Belmont Stakes and this time I'm rooting for him as a fan in addition to a horseplayer, he will deserve to be mentioned in the same breath of the eleven previous Triple Crown winners.
Belmont Stakes is only three weeks away and I have seats about a hundred yards from the finish line. The same seats as last year when I saw Rags To Riches win the Belmont. I would of hit the triple and the late pick four that day if Curlin would have won. But when Rags put her head in front I was rooting like heck for her to win. Triple and pcik four be damned. I hope I have the opportunity to see a Triple Crown winner in person. I'm rooting for Big Brown.
