If Big Brown wins the triple crown it will be because of one of the worst three year old crops ever, not because of his perceieved "greatness". Yes Big Brown finished under wraps in the Preakness, but the race was so slow, even if he was tested and ran faster late, it still would be a slow time. It is important to note that Casino Royale won with great ease as well and had a 101 Beyer in his last start. It will be fun going against beatable odds on favorite and winning in three weeks.
