Re: Big Brown and the 20 hole:
Yes he did win--after being in training since January, having a mile prep at Gulfstream, prepping for the Derby in the Florida Derby, and working steadily up to the Kentucky Derby. Casino Drive, meanwhile, made a 14-hour trip to N.Y, was quaranteened for 10 weeks, and allowed only one five-furlong workout before he won the Peter Pan
going away under the mildest of urging. I've never seen a colt so undertrained and so much below his best do that.

CasinoDrive spoiler for BigBrown at Belmont! His PeterPanStakes BRISSpeed of 109 and BeyerSpeedFigure of 101 average higher than BB's 101 BRISSpeed and 100 BeyerSpeed. CD will not have Kent Desormeaux, but YutakaTake, EdgarPrado, or GarrettGomez. He's bred for upcoming G1 BelmontStakes distance of 1 1/2 miles or 2,400 meters. He's blood to the last two BelmontStakes winners. Should be a 1/3 second favorite over BigBrown.

What will be amazing is when he wins the triple crown, then on to match curlin then we have a race

I agree with playah1979 , Are you guys crazy, A triple crown is exactly what people need to see. After the deaths of barbaro and eight belles, we need a hero in our sport. Big brown will dominate this horse Casino Drive, Considering he has only run 2 races give us a break. Also they are saying how he won by 53/4 lengths. Yeah Big brown did that in a 20 horse race starting from the 20 hole.

i cant beileve some of u people wanting to see big brown get beat..We can witness history on june7th..And we may never have a triple crown winner again in our lifetime..Keep doing it like you do big brown and it yours big guy..

Too bad Casino Drives jockey is going to be mounted on BIG BROWN during the Belmont. He even said, BB is the BEST horse he has ever riden, that came straight from the horses mouth!!!
-
He sat a perfect trip behind a fast pace????? What tape were you watching? He broke slow and was last and Desormeaux then rushed him up right behind the leaders. He was basically last after the 1st 1/16th of a mile and then right behind the leaders barely after a 1/4 mile of an opening 1/4 in 23 flat. You very seldom see young horse rushed up like that after breaking poorly who then finishes well. This horse also missed 2 months training prior to the PP because he was stuck in quarantine.

There's your 2008 Belmont winner, looks kust like Touch Gold did in 97'. Stalker with big speed and acceleration who doesn't mind dirt in the face. Great race over the track, bred to run all day top and bottom. Should love the 1 1/2 mile Belmont distance, all systems on go Belmont day.
Im cheering against BB because i want to see a great horse win the TC not a good horse. Plus Dutrow is an idiot.

Casino Drive is related to the past two Belmont Stakes winners, Rags to Riches and Jazil. He should get plenty of respect in this year's Belmont Stakes.
