Big Brown will not race after this year

Hopefully he passes those hoove genes
on.

Wonder if they will feel the same if he by chance loses the Preakness and Belmont.. Stranger things have happend..

[Hickory Hill Hoff]

I'll be shocked if he makes it to the Belmont.

Get ready to pay up.

I actually hope he goes to Claiborne. I wonder if such a classy operation would deal with such swine. Business is business and keeping Danzig in the breed couldn't be a bad thing.
Three Chimneys hasn't been running to hot lately..I don't see them as a likely home but what the f do I know.

What makes them swine? They turned $3 million into $30 million in less than a year. Does this make them bad guys? Or do you hate them for Dutrow and/or Greg Martin?

Have a heart... Nobody has respect for success more then I but I have no use for cheats.. I have my share of vices cheating isn't one I ever thought was acceptable.

He is a very nice horse that could serve our sport well.. I just wish the silks were Claiborne and he was going home to be managed in a reasonable and responsible way after his limited 4 year old career.

Clearly terms like in the sports best interest and a well managed prudent stud career arent important to the chop house that is IEAH.. I assume whomever has the most dough on the table can get the horse to do whatever they need to do to recoup the investment. Horse people used to respect the industry that they made there money from. Nowadays its only important to earn once you have struck oil.

Dunno...I just don't think something right. The connections are not as confident going into this race...it might be the quick two week return or something else. Don't get me wrong, he should jog versus this group on Saturday...but Casino Drive stands in his way on June 7th as well as the mile and a half distance.

I'm with HHH on this one, I just don't have a superior feeling about the Preakness being an injury-free race.

Uh that is just stinkin thinkin.

He'll race a few more years. Maybe 5 or more.

[Danzig]

really? only one year? i am so surprised.

[Danzig]

maybe they could just go ahead and have a first mare presentation rather than bothering with a trophy.
