Could Big Brown be another Secretariat?

Question

Could Big Brown be another Secretariat?

Answer 1

Hard to say. You had two great closers in this race, Pyro and Colonel John, but there was too much traffic for them to really show us. I'm losing faith in Pyro. I lost a nice chunk of change on him in his race prior to the derby.

As the field whittles down and lanes open up, the closers Pyro, John, Cork will get more opportunity. If the weather stinks in Maryland, don't be shocked to see a pace setter go wire to wire.

As us again after the Preakness.

Answer 2

too early to say, he may be similar!

Answer 3

As much as I LOVE Big Brown... another Sec?

I don't think we will ever see another Secretariat.

Then again, anything is possible! You never know! Just look at how MANY people he proved wrong today.

Answer 4

The only horses I follow always seem to follow other horses.....

Answer 5

As well as Big Brown ran, he was not even close to Big Red's record time for the race. Secretariat is in a class with a select few runners....Big Brown is very good, but that door to immortality is not open for him to enter.

Answer 6

I don't think we will see another Secretariat.

Answer 7

After I watched him win the Florida Derby, I said that he reminded me of Secretariat winning the Belmont. I have never compared a horse to Secretariat in 35 years until that race. After the Derby, I think my observation was validated. He actually COULD be another Secretariat.

RIP Eight Belles, the only competitor that I wanted to see beat Big Brown...what a tremendous effort in beating the boys!

Answer 8

I'm one of the many people he proved wrong today and all I can say about him now is....wow.
