Looks like he has a legitimate chance at the Triple Crown...
If there was a horse in the Belmont Stakes I would put everything on...
I'd be Big Brown.
Sorry... thought this was a German pron thread.
Just give him another ****ty field in the Belmont like he had in the Preakness and only the trainer/jockey could manage to screw it up.

you ain't going to win no money, tho.
What did 1-5 odds pay today? 10 cents on the dollar?

i thought this thread was about UPS
Whenever a boy comes you should always have something baking.
In a way, it is. I'm pretty sure Big Brown was named for UPS.
It was. The original owner of Big Brown(and still part owner) has a trucking company that does a ton of business with UPS, so he named Big Brown after them.
For the good old American lifestyle: For the money, for the glory, and for the fun... mostly for the money.
He's a lock in the Belmont -- you folks bet everything you have on him.
Behold the pale horse. The man who sat on him was death, and Hell followed with him.

Man, that trainer is a jackass.
at this point in the process, I can only assume it was a typo and they meant to say "cram"...
A member of the family that owned Seattle Slew said it was just experience...both Slew and Secretariat had run six races before the Kentucky Derby. The Belmont was Big Brown's sixth race.

trainer is definitely a jackass. I doubt any of Big Brown's 5 previous races were the length of the Belmont.

Well, BB had run 3 races in his life before the KD, and then ran 3 races in 5 weeks (One longer that the next). I think that takes a lot out of a horse when he has to come back in that 3rd race against foes that have been resting a month - see Curlin and Smarty Jones in previous years.
That trainer's a complete ***. The horse was falling back long before the jockey pulled him up.
