With the center jewel in the tripple crown only a couple of days away, who's you favorite???

Anybody going to the infield??

They are staggering the porta-potties and posting guards this year so nobody can run across them.

I wonder which horse will be put down first. Is Vegas offering odds on which horse is most likely to die as a result of this race? That said, I grew up fifteen minutes from Pimlico. Sometimes I really miss Maryland.

Come on, is there really a horse out there that can top Big Brown?

Burning Giraffe

I don't know, but if you look at his times, they aren't very impressive. If this were any other class of horses, Big Brown would be coming in just outside of the top five.

I am not a big fan of horse racing, so I know nothing about times.......but I watched the first two legs of the triple crown and he sure looked impressive there. Two big wins.

Burning Giraffe

He's been running in one of the weakest fields ever. That said, he's still a remarkable horse. I just wouldn't put him up there with the great ones.

Unfortunately then, for histories sake, if he wins the crown I do think he will be compared well to the others.
