While I will preface this with Casino Drive did show some promise in the PP. He has "wiseguy" tatooed to him like bees take to honey for the Belmont. I joked he in another thread that he might even go off as the favorite 3 weeks from now, maybe that isn't far off. He's the clear underlay second choice.

Casino Drive is the very antithesis of a " wise guy " horse.

At this point I would be happy if Big Brown just wins the Triple Crown, either way I agree with what you said earlier. It won't mean he's a greater horse if he does it, it just means he is much better than his 3 yr old competition is. I think we will see just how good he is if and when we see him line up against Curlin. I think the blinders will finally be open after we see how he fares against real racehorses.

I think the public would want it, or certainly demand it. I think it would tarnish whatever legacy he wants in the future if he doesn't. Alot has already been made of how mediocre this crop is, the colt atleast deserves a chance to dispel that notion.
