That blimp view as they came out the turn and KD stepped on the gas was amazing. It was like a road rager passing grandmas on a Florida on ramp. I can't see how adding a few panels is going to put any horse closer to him in 3 weeks.

No kidding. All he did was shake the reins. And he wanted to go more before Kent got him pulled up. Did he even break a sweat?


I can't remember a recent horse that was this fast that was also this tractable. KD moved him up and took him back a couple times. It looked like he had a pretty tight hold on him on the backstretch and to the middle of the far turn. Then he let him go and it was whooooosshhh - what a turn of foot. The blimp shot was amazing.

The only horse I can think to compare this temperament an number of moves to would be a horse like Citation.

I could care less about BB's connections. It is great to watch a horse this nice do his thing.
I'm lovin' it!

If they run much more than a mile and a half, this freak might LAP them! :lol:

Nice little horse!

LOL. Funniest thing I've read in a while. :D

But it might be the truth though. The stunning thing about yesterday's race it that he actually paid more than $2.10 to show.

That blimp view is the SICKEST move I've ever seen, next to Secretariat's Preakness.

I like the overhead shot, very useful. And that was very impressive.

But as far as big moves go....it doesn't even carry Arazi's jockstrap, that is, if he had one. Now there was a move.

I'm not sure anyone can best Big Red's move to the front in the Preakness....

And I forgot about Arazi....still, Big Brown's move turning for home has to be right up there with them all....

They will need binoculars to see him at the 16th pole!

That overhead view of him sprinting away made the opposition seem they were stuck to the rail.

Look at the final closing times for the rest of the Preakness field. They are as bad as, I have ever seen for horses running in a Graded Stakes race. Simply atrocious. The best horses in that field had 8.5f distance abilities, at very best. Some of them might 'puke out' 9f in non graded company. :ThmbDown:
