Default Big Brown's last race will be....
With a stallion deal almost finalized, it's time for us to begin thinking about the end of Big Brown's racing career.

Will his final race be:

A) The Preakness
B) The Belmont Stakes
C) The Kentucky Derby

The Breeders Cup (Turf) Mile...

Unlikely of course, but it would be fun to see this horse run back on the turf.

Over/under on ten lifetime starts for Big Brown?

I'd go under the number in that case.

O/U 7.5. If healthy, he'll run the triple crown, Haskel, Travers, once against olders, then first on synthetic in the Classic where he finishes a miserable 8th at 3-5 odds.

Possible, but with the way he runs on turf, I don't think synthetic would slow him down too much.

I agree. After Steve Haskin read the IEAH statment from Dutrow on ATR, I might be willing to wager the Kentucky Derby at the right price. I'll go with the Preakness.

It's frustrating how we've been conditioned to think like this, when is a horse's last time start in May of his 3-year-old year.

If he wins the Preakness, his last race is the Belmont. If he loses the Preakness, that's it.

If he loses the Preakness, I'm sure some mystery ailment will show up and that will be it. Otherwise it's the Belmont.
