I've Seen All I Need To See With Big Brown

[MaTH716]

I think that the horse ran very well in the Fla Derby and has tremendous potential, but I will probably toss him in the derby. My reasons are, besides the post in the Fla. derby (where he broke sharply and go to the front anyway) he has had 3 pretty clean perfect trips. Now he will be in a field of 20, (at a short price) and probably have to deal with some sort of adversity somewhere. The most important thing for me is that I think that there will be a lot of pace in the race. It seems that even if BB doesn't need the lead, he still wants to be up front. I am hoping War Pass and horses like Bob Black Jack run and BB gets stuck up front in or near a speed duel. Plus would it be possible that trainers like Assmussen and Pletcher try to backdoor other speed horses into the race through the Coolmore or another late prep? There is a chance that he is just a freak, but I am not taking him at a short price in his 4th career start.
