Did you bet the race?

Derby futures? Which race?

but is she a face painter?

Hasn't Boundary tossed a bunch of Sprinter type (grass) sorts that have been very good early and then fizzled out.. The colt has a handled the dirt well enough but I have more then a shadow of doubt that he just might be best between 7 and 8f's.. He hasn't taken a bad step but I remain a bit cautious.

He hasn't had much at all, to be honest. Think Minardi might be his best.

This is hysterical...haha! :D

This is the best.

I was waiting for my vehicle to get repaired, so I thought I'd open up the Big Brown Book. Much to my delight, what started out as a normal thread got boosted in the middle by the re-appearance of PG1985 (9 for 9) and the cherry on top is the late entry of the narcissistic ramblings of KRIM.

Thank you, thank you one and all, for livening up what was otherwise a very dreary day for me.

You guys are talking about TWO DIFFERENT HORSES. The top is referencing GIANT MOON, not BIG BROWN.

Easy Goer, wouldn't you take the time to know that? C'mon, you're better than that.

LOL

I thought something was up when I saw Schoesburg as the quoted trainer. I figured I would let these two lovebirds go at it.

Sorry, I assumed that he was right, and that was Big Brown. That is my mistake.

Wasn't Pomeroy a Boundary?

I'll answer her question. It's not as much fun as giving her a hard time is but really, the question is not a hard one. She just asked simply who do you think will be a better horse, War Pass or Big Brown?

I go with War Pass. Really, it wasn't a ridiculous question as most are making it out to be.

Yeah, nice call... I should have known that. I liked that one a lot, probably his best US runner.

It's very possible this colt hits the frickin wall at a mile.. IMO more so then WP cant get 10f's..

Nothing wrong with an awesome miler Rosie...You maybe right about the horse and wrong about the course and distance...Maybe he is Lure 2?

Nah, he actually ACCELERATED after setting a pretty wicked pace going a mile and a sixteenth in his debut. I could certainly be wrong but he's finished with energy both times...

Phil..excellent post..Really enjoying the dialogue between you and Freddy

thought I would get this thread back on it's feet again

Here's a comparison, by splits, to the Weekend Madness (R7), run the same day and won by Classic Neel.

Big Brown R5: 23.19 24.35 24.30 22.62 5.87

R7: 23.28 21.98 23.92 24.37 6.53

While he dropped the field when he accelerated, it's interesting that he didn't completely wipe them out, and some actually came back a bit (relatively) the last 1/16th. Of course, the maiden field was probably better than that he faced yesterday. But I think he was more impressive yesterday.

from this point till he gets beat he wont see the turf imo

Not just gets beat, but runs poorly

you and i and ateam were on em in the maiden breaker..:D

My last winner....

you have a crazy memory, that was like 7 months ago and you remember a post from back then....

Big Brown to the florida derby
 

as per IEAH...they said they want to give him more spacing to the KD than the BG would provide.

And a half keg of "UC" :D

It seems that they have changed gears and are now going to the Florida Derby. Dutrow offered the following quote to DRF......


"We got to thinkin' and drinkin' last night, and, by the time we were done, we decided the Florida Derby would be the best option," said Dutrow, who trains Big Brown for the IEAH Stables and Paul Pompa Jr.


After reading that I don't know why I don't have complete confidence in this horse moving forward.

by the time they were done thinking, or by the time they were done drinking??

Sweet Tapdancingjeezus, I am out of my mind, I got too many threads open at once. ...:confused:

Best derby trail quote so far this year.

How are you so certain that either one of them will win if they meet up? Doesn't a lot of that depend on what other horses are entered in the race and their running styles? Perhaps Big Brown and War Pass will burn themselves out, who knows. Furthermore, how can you handicap a race without having all of the information on the race itself?

videos.

So was Sightseek and Kelly. Martin and I had put together a big pick 6 ticket and we only included him on a backup ticket because Ateam talked us into him. I think we busted on the next leg. :o

I think the colt is very, very, very good, and I don't think he will have a problem with longer distances based on what he has done so far. I think he is more talented than War Pass. I think War Pass is also an exceptional individual, and I could be completely wrong about Big Brown, but it's just my prediction about who is going to end up being the better of the two at this point. They could both get injured and never meet up for all I know. Just my opinions....

He beat a field of mediocre grass horses on the dirt. Lets not give him the Derby at this point. Hes certainly never ran with anything and wont like it when he does.

might be tricky proving you're the number one three year old if you don't get to run in the derby....big brown, 2 starts, 2 wins. 0 graded earnings.

war pass, a dual gr 1 winner and eclipse champion. big brown better get cracking if he's going to prove how much more talented he is than the 2 yo champ and millionaire.

Right, looks like he's got one shot at those earnings, if they're seriously trying to get him into the field.

Still, should be an interesting race to get BB's measure. Possibles include Elysium Fields, Tomcito and Hey Byrn.
