Everybody took Stew at face value and just hoped that he would move beyond his personal demons. They were celebrating in Hot Springs and Philly as the motorcade headed to New York. Ironically today there are no Big Brown bashes, no Dutrow ditties and we are all trying to figure out how to beat this guy. A sharp contrast to what happened a few years back with Smarty.
I want to root for BB because I would like to see a Triple Crown winner. It's just hard because getting excited for Big Brown is like kissing your sister or light beer. If he wins the Belmont, and I hope he does, I really wonder what we'll say a few years from now as we lament about the great Big Brown's run through the Triple Crown in 2008. Will we say, what a great horse with such a character for a trainer and connections that should have their own HBO weekly show?
Denis of Cork to upset. That would solve everything.

Don't forget, I live in Montgomery County in upstate New York. There are guys up here who would be offended by this comment.
