It is funny how Robby Albarado also agrees with me.

Albarado said. “Frankly, there were at least four 3-year-olds last year who were as good as Big Brown if not better. Street Sense, Hard Spun,...

No. I am not putting down Big Brown. Just saying he isn't even as good as any of the top 3yr olds from last year. So to say he is great is hilarious.

I don't need to slink out any door. He will win, go back to Japan, and then take on Curlin. BB will lose and the excuse will be a mysterious injury and he will be retired.

As for the beyer,...

Why wouldn't Casino press him? Casino is obviously talented. More talented than anything Big Brown has faced. Casino's mother has also won this race 2 years in a row with her offspring. Did you...

He also says the horse has yet to run a fast race. The horse hasn't even broke a 110 beyer. He appears to be a 105 beyer horse. Nothing special there.

Give me a break. A 100 beyer is never good for this caliber. It is grade 3 caliber and the rest of the field couldn't even run it. This is easily the slowest group of 3 year olds in decades.

Great pictures. I like that Roman Emperor horse. Big Brown looks impressive but he doesn't jump out like a Secretariat or even a Curlin.

I love Jazil but the reason he won is because he was the only horse capable of running the 12f. The 95 beyer was incredibly slow but the pedigree usually wins out in the belmont.

Big Brown Beyer for Preakness was a 100

Is this the slowest winning of a triple crown race since Jazil's big 95?

Curlin doesn't need to get better. He has already proven he is a tremendous talent. Big Brown needs to get faster, much faster to take on Curlin. He might do it. We just have to hope he stays...

Curlin will 100% be there in the BCC. He would handle the current Big Brown rather easily. The one thing about Curlin is that he has run from nobody. If Big Brown wants him in the fall he will get...

The beyer doesn't say anything about Big Brown except that the field he beat was very slow.

Casino Drive is a big-time horse. If Big Brown beats him I will be impressed. My word is worth nothing though. Take it from Kent who rode him.

Look all you want. You better have it on top and bottom if you want to run 12f and beat a horse with Casino Drive's pedigree.

Beyer still not sold on Big Brown

I am in 100% agreement with him. A lot of hype for an unproven horse.

Preakness Beyer for Big Brown?

Anyone know what is was. Apparently it was below a 100.

He really isn't. He is by a sprinter. Maybe he outruns his pedigree but he is not a 12f horse.

Big Brown will be 1-9. Take it to the bank. Casino will probably be 4-1, just like Rags. I suspect Casino will do to Big Brown what Rags did to Curlin. The better horse won't win this race but...

He better not bounce. I have that $20 double quite a few times and I plan to bet it all on Casino Drive in three weeks.

This looks like a Big Brown- Kentucky Bear cold exacta which I will parlay onto the Casino Drive-Big Brown cold exacta in 3 weeks.
