I agree. The hype around Big Brown reminds of of the talk about Curlin last year. "He's a monster horse" everybody said. "Forget that he only has three starts-- he's a monster." Well, Curlin IS a monster, but he was still too green to pull off a Derby victory. If a monster like Curlin couldn't pull it off, why should I believe that Big Brown can do it?
