The HRTV crew is going crazy over Big Brown. I've heard the name Curlin. I've heard he's the buzz horse for the Kentucky Derby. They've already seemed to give him the Florida Derby. For what it's worth (and I know you all eagerly anticipate this)..Big Brown and Ready's Echo appear to me to be the horses to beat in the Florida Derby if they go there.

At least they didn't compare Ready's Echo 3yo return race with Ghostzapper's I guess.

He was impressive against a weak field, perfect setup. Let's hope they bring him back in the Fountain of Youth so we can see if he's for real. Siegel was floored. Who's your other horse-Ready's Echo?

It should read the Florida Derby. Cool Coal Man won the FOY.

Yes, that's what I meant. Thanks for the correction.

I realize he beat nothing and it was a perfect set-up for him. But I thought it was as impressive as could be expected from any horse under the circumstances. And yes, Ready's Echo is the other one although with that style, you always have to worry about traffic problems.

I still can't believe he was like 19-1 in his maiden win.
