![]() That was not the same horse that made those moves in the Florida Derby or in Louisville. I have no doubts that Zenyatta woudl destroy him the way he looked today.

![]() This was his first race off a layoff and he was clearly not at his best. I would not write him off yet, but this was not a great performance by any means.

i don't care for that guy at ALL, but for ieah to base their entire future with their trainer on one horse imo is a bunch of bullsh... big brown isn't the monster they thought he was. two more races and he's done anyway, and their is no telling how he'd handle the AWT and older horses. if i was three chimneys, i'd be demanding the horse NOW. |

You may have seen the last of the Big Fella. These connections are never going to let him chance losing another race IMO. The Breeders Cup Classic on Poly is an automatic excuse for his connections to shy away from having his ass handed to him. This is not the horse that won The Derby or the horse who broke from Barbaro's grave in the 12 hole at GP only to mock the competition as he cruised past all comers in a race that was over after the first half mile. I would love to be wrong about this one but I would be shocked if he was in California this October. |

![]() Cant keep this guy down for long. Would love to see these two horses meet. Curlin would toy with him. Dutrow forgot "BB was all out to beat an average horse like coal play.....Curlin wasn't"....or "we are beating the worst 3 yr crop possibly ever....Curlin's crop wasnt".
Following the Haskell press conference, the topic of Curlin, the defending Horse of the Year, and the Breeders' Cup Classic came up. Dutrow, known for his candidness and cockiness during the Triple Crown run, gave his assessment of Curlin. "Curlin couldn't win the Derby, we could," Dutrow said. "Curlin couldn't win [the Haskell], we could. Curlin got beat [by] a filly. We haven't. Our horse is undefeated on the grass. Curlin isn't. I don't know why people think Curlin is such a good horse. We're way better than Curlin." |

![]() i've never been that high on curlin. i think, like big brown, he's benefitting from a total lack of competition. but he'd still eat a big brown-ie for lunch.
i remember when bud delp used to ruffle feathers when he spoke of spectacular bid. 'best horse to look through a bridle'. a lot of people took umbrage at him being so brazen. but who could argue with bud delp now? (Ok, nobody since he's now resting in peace, but you get my point). easy to say tho for dutrow, that he could beat curlin. as long as he stays in the 3 yo R ranks, he won't have to worry about proving it, will he?? i will laugh, maniacally, if somehow, some way, zenyatta goes in the classic and big brown manages to be there-and zenyatta wins. oh, the humanity! hell, i'm laughing right now just imagining it. |

![]() The filly crack he made is pretty cute.
I think my retort would have been that BB hasn't faced a colt half as good as the filly that beat Curlin was. |
