What everyone fails to acknowledge is that as good as Big Brown is, he was in a real weak crop of 3 year olds. If he had to face Curlin, Hard Spun, Any Given Saturday, and Street Sense he would have been severly challenged in the first two legs of the Triple Crown.

i think curlin could beat big brown

When Dutrow commented on how Curlin lost to a filly, it made me think that Big Brown hasn't beat anything half as good as Rags To Riches, and I'm pretty hard pressed to know who would win. Dream race between Big Brown, Curlin, Rags To Riches, and throw Rachel Alexandra into the mix, who would win?

Curlin won the Dubi World cup AND The Jocky Club Cup, Big brown DIDNT. Curlin is the worlds RICHEST race horse pretty much, I love both horses, but I say hands down ALL THE WAY to Curlin, there is NO way in hell Big Brown would have been able to beat Curlin. Curlin won the DWC by about 5+ lengths, Big brown wouldnt be close to catch Curlin.

Rick Dutrow is so cocky. Curlin would roll over Big Brown. Nothing against BB though.

two years later ther is no doubt in my mind that curlin was 10000000000000 times better than big brown... dutrow was and still is way toooo arrogant about his horse ( big brown) who wouldnt have a chance at curlin, rachel, or zenyatta

[ribalzo]

I thinks invasor could beat big brown,curling,barbaro,zenyatta everyone

If Jerry says Curlin would have beaten Big Brown, I'd count on!

I've been a horse racing fan since 1967 - I think Jerry Bailey is probably the all time greatest in jockeys.
