Turfway has a Polytrack surface tuned for its winter meet so that it will not freeze. Santa Anita has a new Pro-Ride track about which we know nothing yet. How can you say they are similar? Are you medium who can foretell the future?

Big Brown keyed on top of a trifecta should pay very nicely.

Based on the sentiments of this Board (all the Big Brown naysayers), that is shocking. Why is Big Brown even the favorite, let alone a possible 1-2?

Big Brown will be the favorite because not everyone can be as smart as the people on this board. The casual public will always bet down the famous horse.

But, since you mention it, considering he has accomplished less on the turf than the entire field, he's a horrible favorite. I understand why he is the favorite, but he should not be.
I appreciate the part about the morning line. I'm curious. It sounds like you think he probably won't win. So do many others tomorrow. If he wins tomorrow and the BCC, does he deserve a higher level of respect fom the horseracing world in terms of how good he is?

let's get him thru tomorrow first.

as to the bc, not just if he wins, but the manner in which he wins, and who he beats.

If he wins. It is not a sure thing at all. And I would be very surprised if he wins. No offense to the horse or anything. Just too much to overcome for a horse that has not been at his best since May.

Pseudo hunch superfecta:

Hotstufanthensome, Kiss the Kid, Fagedaboutit Sal, Get Serious


Seriously, my only likely certainty at this point is having Drum Major on the board.
