Big brown hardly sucked. He didn't beat much but that fla derby win was pretty darn impressive any way you cut it. Did anyone name street cry?

People have brought up Discreet Cat a few times, I think Left Bank would have handled him.

You have Eskendreya on your list who is by far the most comparable horse to Big Brown. Both with ultra impressive prep races over pathetic competition. Similar beyers, trips, etc/ The only difference is Big Brown actually won the Kentucky Derby in style (4 wide all around). I think your judging BB on what happened after the derby where for whatever reason he wasn't the same horse (but the raw talent was there).

Borrego ran 2 really good races, one giant visually impressive race. He is not really on my list, but I just mentioned him when someone brought up Bellamy Road. Eskendereya IMO would have CRUSHED BIG BROWN.

Borrego wasn't that much and certainly not a raw talent.
His big race was an optical illusion aided by a very strong pace. The final half mile was like almost 52 seconds.

I think Eskendereya was extremely talented, and the 3 year old division still hasn't found anything with half the ability he has, but to say he would have CRUSHED Big Brown is awfully bold considering how similarly their careers began.

There are tons, but I'll add one to the list (there are dozens more)... Xtra Heat.

It's borderline a crime that Congaree's name hasn't been mentioned after 50 posts in this thread.
He overcame a ton of health issues - six weeks after breaking his maiden he toyed with Monarchos in a very swift Wood Memorial win - followed that up with a 3rd place finish in the Ky Derby where he ran a miracle mile and still ran a 109 Beyer despite hitting the wall in the final furlongs. He was amazing for a one year stretch as an older horse.

Vale of York 4.) She Be Wild 5.) Man of Iron 6.) Dancing In Silks 7.) Joe Flacko - or whatever it was the '08 BC Classic winner was named 8.) Stardom Bound Where was Congaree here?

Going 9f? There's no way you're catching Ghostzapper of Formal Gold on dirt.

You'd pretty much have to have no clue if you think GZ would finish in the money against that field.
Do people really believe he'd get the lead???
