Easy to 'affirm" : Big Brown is the Real Deal
7:18PM | May 19, 2008 | posted by Admin | comments: 0
Horse racing in the U.S., and in New York especially, got a big boost with ‘Big Brown’ winning the Preakness Saturday. Even without his New York connections, racing NEEDS a star-especially coming off Eight Belles death at the Kentucky Derby. For the next three weeks, you’ll be hearing stories about ‘Affirmed’ the last horse to win the Triple Crown-in 1978. I realize a mile and a half at the Belmont is a tough go. But ‘Big Brown’’s easy win at the Derby from post 20 made me rethink his abilities.
