I understand trash talking is an integral part of sports, but Big Brown’s Trainer Rick Dutrow needs to lay off the celebratory bourbon and quit talking trash. In yet another article released yesterday, Dutrow exlaims:
“I feel like it’s actually a foregone conclusion. To me, I just see the horses he’s in with and I see our horse so I expect him to win this race. … I know that when that day actually does come, and if our horse is in good shape, it will be the most exciting, thrilling moment of my life. So I just … I know that that’s coming, but right now I’m just staying involved with our horse and what we think is best to get him there the right way and it keeps us plenty busy.”
The triple crown is looming, but Big Brown is far from the certain winner. Casino Drive is on fire and has yet to lose a race. This will be Big Brown’s top opponent, and one that may certainly uproot his legendary status. We’ve seen it happen all too many times, a horse lose the triple crown that was heavily favored, and it just may happen this year yet again.
I would like nothing more than to see a Triple Crown winner. It would help revivive the sport of horse racing within the modern generations of children that have no idea who Secretariat was.
