An anonymous poster left a link to this youtube video in my last post. I thought it was funny enough to share with you all on Friday morning. It features Curlin and Big Brown talking a bit of “smack talk” to each other.
My favorite moments:
Big Brown to Curlin: “One of us got beat by a girl!”
Curlin to Big Brown: “Tom Durkin just called and said you finally crossed the wire in the Belmont”
I’ll be back with some Hollywood Park picks for tonight when I get home from work (roughly 6PM EST) for anyone interested in playing along.
i just have to thank you for that hilarious youtube video…LOVED IT! you should check out the onion story about Big Brown right after the Belmont, same kind of humor!
Thanks – I thought so to. I was worried when no one was commenting until now.
I’ll check out that Oninon story ASAP.
Damn, I hated those NBA playoffs commercials.
Claimer.
Great stuff Kevin!
Oh, once those two get a couple of beers in them they’re just in each other’s faces. It’s so tedious.
It’s a shame we may not see these guys run against each other. If Curlin goes to turf (and it takes) – then he might not ever run into BB assuming BB goes on to stud after this year. I’m wondering whether they’ll bring Curlin back as a 5 year old?
Of course, the weird situations with Curlin got even weirder with the potential for an Asmussen suspension. It’s all up in the air now.
If Big Brown comes back and wins the Travers up in Saratoga – who wouldn’t want to see him and Curlin? We need a big race this summer. My hunch is that a Curling/Big Brown billing would be so hyped that everyone would be talking about it – or at least more than are usually talking about horse racing.
Of course, in a perfect world I’d like to see him win the Arc over in France and be able to boast victories in the Preakness, Classic, World Cup, and the Arc. That would put him in unique territory.
