The colt named Big Brown has brought more interest to horse racing than the sport has seen in years. Probably not since Secretariat, and that’s going back a ways.
The reason is simple. Big Brown has won the first two legs of the Triple Crown. If he wins again in the Belmont Stakes, he would be the first horse in more than three decades to pull off the big hat trick.
We’ll see on Saturday. But Big Brown’s trainer Rick Dutrow Jr. had better really hope his horse doesn't cross the finish line looking at the hind end of some other critter(s).
Dutrow has already said Big Brown’s third win is a “foregone conclusion.”
And, “If he ever gets in the lead in the Belmont, the race is going to be over. I can’t see any horse coming up and catching him.”
And then, “Forget about it. There’s no way in the world there’s any other horse that’s doing any better than Big Brown. It’s impossible.”
Whooee! That’s a lot of braggin’, Rick. You seem to be forgetting an old adage:
“Choose your words carefully. You may have to eat them.”

Big Brown boasting

Convicted sex offenders must register with the state through their local law enforcement agency for the remainder of their ilfe. It makes NO sense to sentence this pervert to deferred adjudication. Men are not afforded a deferred adjudication sentenced when convicted of a sex offense. Most first time offenders who commit sexual offenses do receive probation, but it is tough probation. They are randomly visited at home or at work and they undergo many therapy progams. I don't mind the probated sentence, but absolutely not deferred adjudication of the sentence. It is a contradiction because she will always register as a sex offender for the remainder of her life. That is the law. Looks like she is being treated sweeter because she is female. She is dangerous, just like male sex offenders.
