Default How good is Big Brown?
Dutrow stayed home to saddle this horse and Diamond Stripes and Benny the Bull won races worth a total of $3million!
Is Rick hitting the hookah or is BB a monster?

I don't think big brown wins, but thats just me. The horse has too much to overcome and has yet to show he can run with higher class horses.

He isn't winning the KY Derby. I think we all overvalued what was in this field. And I was one of them. Elysium Fields looked like **** (washed out bad) and nothign else ran. Smooth Jazz ran well but flattened out.

Me either... nice horse! Thank heavens we have something to look forward to in the Derby.

I'm glad to be wrong this time around. I thought the post would beat him.

We have seen everyone and there isn't a 3 yo in the world who would have beaten him today. Assuming he stays healthy, who has a legit chance to beat him? I haven't seen that horse yet. He could "bounce" and win.

He is good, but was it because the field was that bad or a combination of how good Big Brown is and how bad that field was.

It was a very fun race to watch and when Kent looked under his shoulders coming around the turn you knew Big Brown had plenty left.

Congrats to all and especially to Dutrow--what a great great day. It has to be right up there with Mandella.
