I would love to see a Big Brown do good.
I'm torn between him and Upstart,but I'm favoring the NY bred!
In two years time well see a ton of NY breds by Big Brown as he stands in NY now.

This man's opinion ... there will be no undefeated added to the lost this year ... it'll be Pharoah.

Dortmund will come in 2nd though.   ;)

I'm sure it was a result of autocorrect, but I think it should be Morvich.
