Cool

Wait, the racing world doesn't rotate around the BSF?

I do agree with Beyer's safe, and general quotes about Big Brown and the crop.

Fast?
As far as top speed, acelleration, and tactical speed - Brown is a star in most any era. Compared with the big3 of 2007, none of them match his ability in these three measures of speed.

Big Brown's cruising speed or the speed that he comfortably gallops/races is near or equal to Hard Spun. His natural ability rivals Curlin. His response to KD is the equal of Street Sense/Borel.

Big Brown obviously isn't a grinder or a slow closer. He is a speedy talent who runs his mediocre competition off the track on the turn.

While Brown hasn't yet faced a true Grade I horse, he has spotted the field "queen odds" in the Florida Derby with post 12, and then came back with post 20 in Kentucky.
