Some Questions about Big Brown

[RollerDoc]

When I watched Big Brown in the Florida Derby, I knew that was going to be my pick to win Churchill Downs. I love this horse and bet him to win in the the first two lengths of the Triple Crown (although I won almost nothing in Preakness).

So here are my questions:

Do you think his odds will be even higher than 1-5 at Belmont?

If Big Brown wins the Triple Crown, is he a lock for Horse Of The Year even if he is not entered or loses Breeders Cup?

How do you think Big Brown matches up against Curlin today?

Can you name another horse or two that has had the type of explosiveness Big Brown has when called upon?

Two additional comments:

It's not so much that Big Brown won impressively at The Kentucky Derby, but the fact that he did it from the 20th Post. I just think that is so incredible.

I wish I would have put a little money on Ichabod Crane at The Preakness. Mainly because Jeremy Rose seems to do very well at Pimlico. What he did with Afleet Alex when he clipped heels with Scrappy T in 05 was amazing. Almost as amazing as Alex recovering
