Watchmaker: Big Brown a long way from Big Red

Yes...instead, let's talk about Oasis...

It's like Liam Gallagher said when asked if Be Here Now was better than Definitely Maybe: "F**k Definitely Maybe. It's over."

Actually, isn't that more like comparing Big Brown's Derby to Big Brown's Preakness? Or Secretariat's Belmont to his Canadian International?

Wouldn't it be more like comparing Oasis's "Definitely Maybe" to the Beatles's "White Album"?

Personally, I think Be Here Now is Oasis' best album. And the readers of Rolling Stone named it Album of the Year in 1997. Although Noel Gallagher thinks it's garbage.

On a more relevant note, who would survive being double-barreled by either Big Brown or Secretariat, Noel Gallagher or Ian Brown?

I say Ian Brown. He knows karate and can speak Spanish (which given the nationality of most backstretch grooms, might be soothing to an angry horse)...

Hard to do. Music was so different then. But did you know that Definitely Maybe is still the fastest selling debut album in the history of Britain?

I believe it. Not only is the situation figuratively similar to flies on dogsh!t, but there might actually be a literal connection there, too.

It doesn't hold a candle to The Boatmen's Call by Nick Cave...

At this stage of the Triple Crown, Big Brown has won twice in very impressive fashion. At this stage of the Triple Crown in 1973, Secretariat had set two stakes records (Pimlico disputed), and he was about to run the race by which all others are measured.

OK I give in I have to make a comment...to be fair to Big Brown also. At the same point of Seattle Slew's career couldn't you substitute his name for Big Brown's in the title of his column.

Not many compare to Big Red. Oh well why not report the grass is green and the sky is blue.
