Which is why, though I've been waiting to see a Triple Crown since the first Derby I can remember (1983), I'm so lukewarm on this one. I can't believe it. I know, I know, don't blame the horse for his connections, but if there's someone who cares even less what I think than IEAH does, it's Big Brown.

(Or maybe I'm just mad at myself for not forking out the $$ for reserved seats back in March. I'll be eating sour grapes while I'm smooshed in with 100,000 people in three weeks. 'Cause, lukewarm as I am, I know I'm still gonna go.)

Then after he wins the Triple Crown because really I don't see anyone from that group that can beat him if he runs his race. It will be almost impossible to go to any message board because Big Brown will be proclaimed the greatest horse since Citation and or Secretariat. And that to me is just not right...Get the 'excuse my language' there is no other way to put it...barf bag ready gang.
