I dont think its fair to say Big Brown is or isnt a great horse based on 1 bad day. And its not inconceivable to think he could have finished 3rd or 4th in the Belmont had Desormeaux not pulled him up.
Big Brown won 2 legs of the Triple Crown, and Curlin only 1. At least he didnt let a girl beat him. Big Brown would have walloped that field Curlin beat in Dubai, I dont think thats arguable.
Both very accomplished horsies. They'll never meet so any argument is moot and can never be proved. Also both owned by people I know I wouldnt trust with $5.
