He's(CD) getting press because frankly this crop is very mediocre. The only horse that has shown any ability to give him a race is pointing for racing in Canada and that is why we are left searching and building up horses that perhaps don't deserve the press. At this moment unless someone improves drastically and if Big Brown stays healthy it looks he will join the TC club.
