street sense, hard spun, lawyer ron, any given saturday, and well armed aren't good horses? remember, BB finished last (9th!) in the Belmont to some pretty mediorcre competition. he lost to DA'TARA...curlin would leave BB in the dust.

@garnizzle96 The only one in that list of yours that I don't agree with is Azeri, she was a wonderfull horse, not one of the greats, but still a superb racehorse

One of the best horses I've seen in the past decade, along with Ghostzapper and Invasor.

Ran his heart out in the Classic but was spent in mid-stretch.

What does it matter who's more versatile? What matters is who is he best at the best races.

[samsam29]

I thought it was evident: that even if BB had faster times in some races, Curlin had the better speed figures, and based on those numbers (since they never matched up) he was the superior horse.

BB was a good horse that was made "great" by hype and lack of good competition.

and what point are you trying to make samsam29

[samsam29]

Curlin lost the Derby.

AS for times, Curlin had better speed figures than BB. TImes can be faster or slower depending on the condition of the track, speed figures tend to compensate for that.

wow lol waaay better than i could do :)

[BigBrown2332]

Haha no sorry for being rude. But i want to train horses eventually i train horse to be saddle broke now im 14 trained 2 horses so far.

[bigbrownfan12345]

I'm not saying Big Brown was a bad horse, he just wouldn't have been able to beat Curlin. He was a nice horse in a less-than-stellar year of racing. No, I wouldn't be able to train a horse well enough to even get INTO the Derby, but could you?
