Good job, BB!!! Great run!!!

Big Brown won --- without being whipped by his jockey not even once, unlike the other horses being whipped. He was relaxed towards the middle, and was not digging hard on the turf, unlike the other horses struggling. He won without even really trying that hard. In the Breeders' Cup, he'll do just fine.

Big Brown one of best horses since 2000. As good as Point Given, Afleet Alex, Smarty Jones, Curlin, American Pharaoh, Justify. Any one of them could win vs the rest. Check the records of many of the best horses. You'll see something in common - most had 1 race out of the money. One clunker. It happens. I didn't say all. I said most.

Yeah that victory was as easy as all of them. I thought it was one of his best races, he loves the turf, and Big Brown was game and Kent let him win on his own, Kent never hit him the the whip once. He only tapped his shoulder and chirpped at him.
