It will all be moot when the race is rained off the turf.

I guess I'm curious to see Big Brown to run on dirt anyways. Any idea on what type of race that has come back? I only distinctly recall seeing one horse out of it, a month or so ago at GP, and he didn't run well.

He's never run on the dirt. My guess is he's a total bet against.

Why's that? Because he will be overbet based on turf and synthetic track form?

If he couldn't handle that crew he was really in trouble.

I'll tell you, if I had TVG or HRTV and listened to these fools proclaim champions or whatever, I'd deserve whatever ill would come my way.

Won easy, yes.

Pretty fast, yes.

Beat anything? Absolutely not.

That's silly but he's got a lot of talent.

It's hard to judge the mile races versus 7F races, as in general the miles have been much slower, perhaps due to the insufficient run-up, but both maiden races were run in 1:23 1/5. Both of those winners are promising, and I don't think it's unfair to say that his 1:35 3/5 is four to six lengths faster than those races.

I haven't watched Gulfstream....is it a sealed track? If so that makes all the races tricky to take on face value. However, no matter how you cut it, Big Brown can run.
