$5 Million Purse For Masscap If Big Brown Faces Curlin In Battle Of Unbeatens

[Quiet Chris]

Big Brown is either going to lose to Casino Drive or retire an undefeated TC winner after the Belmont. A "foot problem" is a given.

This would be a better venue to settle this than would the Breeder's Cup on synthetic track, IMO

I had to use Babelfish translation to figure out exactly what you said about Tomcito. I already assumed the tone but I wasn't prepared for the poetic nature of the diss... "Tomcito inhales the ass."

Are we sure the Jockey Club Gold Cup isn't gonna work out? I like the 'move it up' thing but the purse would need to increase right? They're kinda playing that game now. I do remember hearing something about a couple more races for BB which stops with the Travers and Classic in theory...unless they meant 2 and then the BCC, which I doubt. Of course unless the Hoof Fairy saves the day, 'foot injury' does seem possible. They're almost to the duct tape stage of patching judging by the relative lack of hoof I saw in the last photos.

BB has done enough

I love Suffolk! Ah New England in the fall...I'd go.

If BB wins the Belmont than the place they should meet is in the Jockey Club Gold Cup. Both would have wins there. Just move it up two weeks. That give Big Brown 3 weeks after the Travers and Curlin 3 weeks before the ARC.
