Wasn't it just a few weeks ago that we were all complaining about the Breeders' Cup Classic lacking intrigue? Now, if everything falls into place, this might be one of the most highly-anticipated Classics of all-time. Of course, a lot has to be decided between now and Oct. 25, most importantly, whether...

I have mixed feeling about Big Brown racing in the newly-created Monmouth Stakes this weekend. On one hand, I am happy to see the Derby winner running at all.
