Whoop-ee! Today is the day that (hopefully) history will be made.
However, if not... I will live to race another day, or at least watch it on tv.
Big Brown is going to do his best to be the first winner of the Triple Crown in 30 years (Affirmed, 1978) and will have 8 others competing to dash his dream.
His main competition, the Japanese supposed phenom, Casino Drive, has been scratched from the race as of early this morning, so he will have one less (and his biggest challenger in my opinion) to contend with.
It is no secret that I am not a fan of Brownie's trainer (Rick Dutrow) but am willing to overlook his complete and utter arrogance and just think of the horse and the jockey (one of my favorites, Kent Desormeaux, who really deserves this) and cheer on the Big Brown team.
Win one for the gipper! (whoever he is...)
*Safe trips to all horses - come back safe and sound!
Hopefully his will be the scene, when Brown leaves the field in his dust...
Will the inevitable happen? STAY TUNED.....
