Fortunately for Big Brown, he doesn't have to be a super horse to win the Triple Crown-- he just has to be better than the best horses of his generation. He is proving that he is just that. I don't...

Forgive me for having too much time on my hands, but I was curious to see what the odds of one broodmare foaling the winner of a race like the Belmont three years in a row.

Using an rough estimate...

Desormeaux gave Big Brown a hand ride yesterday and crushed the field by five lengths. This horse still has a lot left in the tank, and there really isn't a good reason to think that he can't go 12...

Just like you can't pick your parents, a horse can't pick his or her connections. I understand why people feel the way they do, but in the end the only thing that matters is the horse. As much as I...

After his Derby performance and this lackluster crop of 3-year olds, Big Brown could very well be the next Triple Crown winner.

At first I was bummed thinking about this because it's a situation...

I'm trying to make sense of War Pass's trip. He battled a rabbit through some pretty fast fractions and only lost by a nose or a head. On one hand, I respect the horse because he was able to tough...
