I was at the F.T. yearling sale you speak of and saw Big Brown. I recall the spot on his side and rated him an OK horse, meaning I couldn`t knock his conformation and I wouldn`t mind buying if the price was right. But it just goes to show that at these yearling sales there are far more attractive and speedier looking horses and 1000 to choose from. Most horses that go on to be good don`t necessarily stand out and a lot is price dependent. If I had come home with a boundary for 60,000 I would have been shot. Its instructive that Seattle slew was bought for 17000 and many others. Yearlings on average really don`t stand out and a lot of the ones that do, don`t go on to race well if at all.

I loved it when I heard the "know-it-all" announcers on T.V. say that Big Browns sire was a common son of Danzig. Since when is being royally bred "common"? If you look at Boundary, he is probably one of the Best Bred sons of Danzig and in person he is a handsome son of a gun. I hope Big Brown wins the triple and Boundary can sit back and say......"Common.....I'll give you common! Thats my boy who won the Triple Crown."
