you can see it in that first race up at saratoga-he is cruising along at a fast pace and jeremy continues to pull him back-he goes 23 and change and then 24 and change twice and then an astouding 28 and change-total absurd freak in first race-as unusual as that christmas day tsunami
congaree ran with a bold recklessness but big brown can do cruising what congaree did pretty much full blast-its almost kind of funny

Loved Congaree.
As far as PG I just don't buy the "he was too close to the pace" stuff and never did. If he's my horse and they put him in the back and gets beaten trying to outkick closers and avoid traffic I am livid because I KNOW he's the best horse. If he's in a clear spot a few lengths off, makes his move, and it's not his time, then I'm OK with that. Dutrow mentality over Borel mentality. Just give the horse a shot for his talent to win. Not trying to get lucky.
The difference between BB and PG is that Big Brown has more brilliance. He has a grinding gear but he has lots of speed too. He's a freak, I agree. I'm not sure he is the better overall horse. I think he could beat PG at 8 and 9. 10 is close. Unless he does something spectacular in the Belmont I have a hard time believing he could top PG going 12.
