Dutrow's Confidence in Big Brown

[SCUDSBROTHER]

You need luck to win that race.Prado is probably best at positioning horses.Prado is his favorite jock.Because it's a big field ,and he thinks he just needs to stay out of trouble,I think I would have switched to Prado.This isn't the Florida Derby.This race will have horses who can run early with him.This is a tougher assignment for the jock.Prado is smoother,and a more consistent rider.I would have upgraded to my main guy.It may be the only chance he has to win the derby,and why go with a jock who did indeed blow a triple crown by opening up a lil too early on Real Quiet? See,Kent has always been the type to go all in,and hope he can hold on.Prado is just smoother.

I wasn't rooting for or against Big Brown until I read this nonsense.

"Until somebody shows me the beast, this is not a tough horse race," Dutrow said in a typical recent interview. "I'm training this horse for a horse race; I don't care what the name of it is. I feel he's the best horse in the race - I feel he's going to win the race. Anything else is going to be extremely disappointing to me.

"I know there's no one going into this race as good as he is right now. If he breaks clean, it's a mismatch to me on paper."

**** Dutrow in the pants. I hope Big Brown runs up the track. Then that douchebag will understand how difficult it really is to win the Derby.

I'll tell ya something ,Joey.What chance do you think that Black Jack horse has to get 10f? All it would take is that horse getting a lil rank,and wanting to run off.If he sets a fast pace(with Brown laying a close 2nd-3rd-4th,) then it's gunna suck the middle and back of that field past that front.I don't care if he's best.When you got this many horses it ain't all up to you.You still gotta get lucky.This is not like the other 3 races he has had.He has been able to clear 3 times without much fight from anybody.This race is the 1st time all the best 3 year olds have met,and it will have horses who can run front, middle, and back. Can he clear on the far turn? He might,but he may have to go quite a bit quicker this time in the middle.It's different.On paper,he is best.This race has a stand out favorite.He will be targeted. We haven't had such a big favorite in the derby recently.They gunna be trying to get this horse in trouble.He can win it,but they will make it as hard on him as possible.

That's why he is the favorite.Still gotta stay out of trouble,and all the others will be trying to get him into trouble.

big brown showed he was best in his three races. i don't know that he's shown he's the best three year old. like someone else said, dutrow sounds like bobby frankel a few years ago with empire maker.
i guess i'm just sick to death of hearing about big brown, with new threads from differing angles (like this one) begun on the board ad nauseum.

You could start a "Stop Big Brown Threads" thread....oh wait...

my question is : why is he the favorite? off of one race . the other 2 were turf races(one was taken off), and the florida derby field was a pack of chumps. its the kind of horse people that bet once a year like. not people that take the time to handicap and write on here .

I don't think Prado rides for Dutrow anymore after the St. Liam issue. I could be wrong though.

He rode Saint Barr at Aqueduct for Dutrow yesterday.

Why does someone that spends their spare time posting on a horse racing forum, not follow the game?

[cakes44]

Yeah I did have my head up my arse on that one. Sorry about that.

Sorry, if I came across as a smart A@# but,
It is his first call rider.

Not a problem, and once I started to think about some of his horses, I realized I was wrong. Didn't they part ways for a short time after Bailey was put on St. Liam though?

I knew Rick from way back in high school days. Fun guy to be around, always had a laugh and a smile on his face. It was all about having fun way back then and if we weren't having fun, he'd find a way to stir things up so we'd have something to laugh at.

I've seen him win the big races lately and there's one thing you'll always see when he wins - a guy that's laughing his ass off having the time of his life in the moment.

I picked up a copy of the DRF yesterday and there was Ricky on the cover - laughing his ass off. That's who he is and if any of you knew him and spent time with him, he'd be the kind of guy you'd enjoy being around.

His bravado about Big Brown is over the top. But take it for what it is - a bunch of talk. I hope he wins on Saturday so I can watch him walk the walk!!!!
