Most definitely the best horse in my lifetime as well. And he has an amazing pedigree. It'll break my heart if the boy doesn't take the Belmont but it's sure looking like there won't be anyone to run against him.
Casino Drive is coming in. The Japanese horse. Being hailed as Godzilla. And Desormeaux has been up on Casino Drive and refused to comment on which would take the Belmont. Desormeaux ran Casino in the Peter Pan the same way he ran Brown in the Preakness so they might be side by side through the backstretch post position willing. Although Brown went wire to wire in his first three starts on lead, I doubt they'd take the chance of a speed duel in the Belmont.
Big Brown definitely starts rolling with more power than Casino Drive and I expect even if they have a duel in the turn he'll pull away in the stretch drive effortlessly.

You better soak it all up, woman. He takes the crown and this'll be the last year he runs. I'm not sure if they'll have him slated for the Breeders Cup and Horse of the Year title, but I know after his 3yo season they intend to retire him. Amazing horse.
