Big Brown, Can He Win the Triple Crown

I think this is the best chance a horse has had since Barbaro. Plus, only 2 of the Kentucky Derby horses are going to run in the next race.

Barbaro? Are you kidding me? Smarty Jones had the best chance, not him. He had the Triple Crown right there at Belmont and then faded at the end.

Let's have him win the Preakness THEN start this discussion. You can't win all three if you don't win the first two.

You're argument that only two derby runners will be at the Preakness works AGAINST him. The Derby was a very weak field this year. Perhaps the competition will be better...


That being said the #2 competition is already out of the way.


Due to events beyond my control, I missed the Derby for the first time in over 15 years on Saturday - I guess I picked the right one to miss...

PETA is at it again. They want the jockey of Eight Belles suspended. They think he knew the horse was injured before the finish line.

PETA can GO TO HELL! Left up to them, we would be eating nuts and berries and have brittle bones because they wouldn't let us have meat or milk. PETA can kiss my ASS!

A 1200 pound thoroughbred can't WALK on an injured leg, much less run. I heard the story too, then went back and re-ran the tape a couple times, and there is just no way. She showed no ill effects either right before or right after the finish line. If PETA is so concerned with protecting the rights of horses, then they should go boycott McDonalds in Europe.

The Peta spokeswoman was on the Mike Tiricho(SP) show ESPN radio and she could not answer any of his questions. They are using this as a publicity stunt. If you get a chance to listen to the show do it and you'll love it.

My 4 year old grandson loves Big Brown.He told me he'd win the Derby, and picked him again for the Preakness.I asked him today about the Belmont and he told me Big Brown can't lose.Although I think the name is just easy for him to say, I'm not going against him at this point.
