This is not withstanding the myriad of other issues with Big Brown that make me question his ability to perform in L-ville on May 3rd.

Pretty much summed up my feelings. The sport needs stars and maybe Big Brown will be one. But there's enough questions handicapping-wise that to me he will not be a good bet 5/3.
