Everyone bitched and moaned that Run Dusty Run and Sanhedrin were mutts when Seattle Slew won the Triple Crown, now we hear the same stuff with Big Brown. With Slew, all questions were answered in his 4 year old year while we will probably never be able to see whether Big Brown is beating up on tomato cans or is truly exceptional. I'm not going to worry about comparing generations. I'm just enjoying his run at history, in spite of my personal feelings about his human connections. (save for Desormeaux).

Hello Munster705

My name is THE_FAT_MAN and I'm am a FAT MAN from Brooklyn. I love to eat, sit around the house in my underwear eating, sweating, and drinking beer and interacting with my friends at DT. Oh, and I prefer THIN women.

Just in case you're NOT either a computer generated post or some DOOFUS looking for attention, might you know of some women in my area, BROOKLYN, that would be interested in dating a FAT MAN?

Thank You very much, Munster705

I am torn about this. I would like to see a TC winner, but I cannot stand Rick Dutrow. Every time I see him on TV I wanna punch him in the face. Ill be pulling for someone else to beat him in the Belmont, not because of the horse, but because of the trainer.

That's the frustrating thing to me. He very well could be the next Seattle Slew but he'll never get the chance to prove it against older horses like Slew did. Makes it tough for me to get excited about him winning the Triple Crown. For the next Triple Crown winner I want one of three things; to be a 2yo champion, to run freakishly fast figures, or to run past three. The last one won't happen unless it is a gelding and Big Brown doesn't fit the first two.

I've decided to leave to posterity the determination of BB's place in posterity. If he wins the Triple Crown, I will be there to see it, I will always remember it, and it will be pretty cool, regardless of how he ranks in the pantheon of the greats.
