Question

Will the #20 post position hurt Big Brown in the Derby?

Answer 1

I don't think any horse would have a shot at winning breaking from post 20.

Answer 2

no they are going to the front with him thats why they chose that post but colonel john will pass him before the wire. I hope and my landlord hopes so as well

Answer 3

I really hope not.  I think it could hurt him some, but this is it:  It is do or die time.  The jockey can make all the difference in the world and Kent D. is a good jocket.  Look for Kent to hold back this horse in the first of the race, and really push him the last 1/2 mile or so. My horse Gayego is right beside him, and I hope the 2 don't tie up.  Overall, I'd say Big Brown won't be hurt since Desomereux is one heck of a jockey with a 3-1 horse.

Answer 4

I think it will.  But I also thought the Big Brown worship would die down with him breaking from the parking lot, but it seems to have gotten worse.  I know, he broke from post 12 in the Florida Derby, but I didn't see an auxiliary gate in that race nor did I see any serious competition.

Answer 5

I don't think the post will be a problem.  It keeps him from all the chaos of the first turn.  Settle down then blow them all away from the 3/4 pole.

I also think that he could start from the parking lot and still win.

Answer 6

I worried about people yelling from the grandstand area, since he's all the way outside.

He's got the SPEED to Clear the field, we'll see!
