i don't think i've seen anyone say that big brown was exposed, or the 'real' big brown showed up yesterday. i'd say it's a given that at this point big brown is the cream of the crop. but then, that's not saying a whole hell of a lot this year.
as for the classic, i'll be shocked if he is still around for it-curlin as well. i don't see big brown staying in training, and i don't see curlin going on AWT. now, if big brown and curlin both go (and we see pigs flying at the same time) i would actually think big brown could give curlin a run for his money. it'd be late in the year, big brown would be presumably bigger, stronger, more mature-but the plus for him is his ability on turf, which often translates to ability on AWT. that combined with assmans woeful poly abilities, and curlin having had all his starts on dirt--i'd say it's a crap shoot wether curlin could run on the stuff at the same level as on dirt.
