Go, BIG BROWN!!!!!

Oh man, y'all ... what an exciting animal to watch RUN!!!

reminds me of a BIG RED horse ... Secretariat.
He is like watching a BIG bay PANTHER run.

Wow.

Sure didn't see the way that finished coming.

How sad.

Reminded me of Ruffian in '78? the match race with Foolish Pelasure?

(((Barb)))

I didn't see the race, but heard about it. I'm glad I didn't watch, or I'd have been in tears.

I need to read more about Big Brown's owner. I just saw the headlines, the day before the race, about his owner "overcoming drug abuse" and all that went with it, and now he has this awesome horse.

(((((Purr))))

Yeah it was terrible!
Wonderful at the same time.

Big brown .. no lie - I haven't had this kinda feeling about a horse in a very long time.

but he's got bad feet.

so that will be the determiner.

nobody can catch him.

yeah - the owner was at one time "Mr.Recovery".... but he's a 'bad boy' anyhow so I think he's stepped away from using the jargon now that he's not in trouble .. you know how that goes.

people who use the program just because they're in trouble.

he may have been one of those.
