yeah i know lol. really not so much big brown as much ghostzapper. if you know me that's a big statement. it's his running action. his crusing speed is something else.


thats the match i want to see as a fan. Bayern v. california chrome.

Hi bdw,
Bayern might run in the Arkansasa Derby....so hope for your dream race is not lost. CC is a solid race horse....he's got guts too. Broke a hair late and banged around a bit between horses coming out of the gate but it didn't phase him. Very nice horse. TJ

C-Chrome sure seems to be a case of handsome does as handsome is. I like him.

Reminds me a little of California Chrome's run on Saturday.

Thanks for sharing the link to that clip, Bill. The turn into the homestretch is so telling -- Seattle Slew moving easily, with great power and authority, simply running a game but exhausted For the Moment into the ground. After that, the only question was the winning margin.
