Wonderhorse

Sunday, 18th May 2008

Forget Epsom (as, unfortunately, it seems a number of leading trainers are doing).

All eyes are now pointing to Belmont on 7th June, when Big Brown, the runaway winner of the first two legs of the US triple crown, could become the champion racing fans have been waiting for for 30 years since Affirmed.

I can't remember seeing such an easy winner of the Kentucky Derby and then, last night, the Preakness. Big Brown looks the real deal - a monster wonderhorse.
