Big Brown Scareoff

[JJP]

I believe Harlem Rocker will be running in the Preakness. I'm not saying he'll beat Big Brown or even be near him but there's a few similarities between Big Brown/Harlem Rocker from this year and Barbaro/Bernardini two years ago. Harlem Rocker's pps look eerily similar to Bernardini's, and Big Brown was every bit as impressive a Derby winner as Barbaro was.

There's gonna be strong pressure on Stronach to run him in the Preakness, but they sounded pretty ardent about going to beat up on some hosers.

Why can't they do both?? Queen's Plate is 5 weeks after the Preakness.

Let's hope it is REALLY similar to Barbaro/Bernardini....except that Big Brown just takes a bad step and loses without injury. IEAH winning the triple crown would be horrific for racing.

you know, i'd rather big brown win the thing than suffer an injury. how ridiculous!

Why should anyone run back in 2 weeks after losing the KD ? Fuhgeddaboutit.
