Who cares? 1-9 or 2-5 you are a moron for betting that

If Big Brown wins the Triple Crown, is he a lock for Horse Of The Year even if he is not entered or loses Breeders Cup?

If they retire right after there might be a backlash, if he races again he will probably win

How do you think Big Brown matches up against Curlin today?

Curlin would beat him carrying 150 pounds

Can you name another horse or two that has had the type of explosiveness Big Brown has when called upon?

I could name thousands but think of it this way. Imagine you watched the overhead of the Preakness. Now imagine in that same overhead Smarty Jones was 12 lengths ahead and Funny Cide, Afleet Alex, and Bernardini were 10 lengths ahead, and Curlin and Street Sense were 8 lengths ahead. Would anyone care about Big Brown pulling away from the crap horses behind him or would he have looked like Tomcito in the Florida Derby?

Two additional comments:

It's not so much that Big Brown won impressively at The Kentucky Derby, but the fact that he did it from the 20th Post. I just think that is so incredible.

I wish I would have put a little money on Ichabod Crane at The Preakness. Mainly because Jeremy Rose seems to do very well at Pimlico. What he did with Afleet Alex when he clipped heels with Scrappy T in 05 was amazing. Almost as amazing as Alex recovering
