After spending a whole column on why BB was suspect , these two lines at the close from Andy B.

\"Even if Big Brown is less effective at 1 1/2 miles than at shorter distances, he is so superior in this field that he is unlikely to be beaten. The racing world can get ready to hail the 12th Triple Crown winner. \"


 Andy hasn\'t been right about a big race since the Spectacular Bid walkover in 1980.

MO: Old habits are hard to break.....LOL
