Anyone else have thought's on how much he could regress (if any) and still win the Preakness?

I have it the other way. I think that Big Brown will improve off of his Derby effort. That race was a wide gallop and he didn't seem hard used at all. I expect a ground saving trip into a faster pace. Given that his feet hold up, the Belmont will be tougher but only a fresh monster can keep him from the Triple Crown.
