Well, Big Brown fell short of his Triple Crown bid but there is no doubt this is a remarkable horse. His ability to close and gain ground late in the race was a pleasure to watch. I would love to see Big Brown stick around and race as a four year old, but seeing how he finishes this year is going to be interesting. Can he match Curlin's campaign last year?
Big Brown was bred by Monticule Farm. Dr. Knapp at Monticule is building a tremendous facility at and it is one of my favorite places to shoot. Unlike many other modern farms, Dr. Knapp has molded the farm around the rolling landscape which is true Kentucky. It's a modern state of the art facility but it looks like it has been there a century or more. It's easy to see that he loves the land as much as he loves the horses. I believe Monticule will be a major player in the thoroughbred industry for years to come. Here are a few shots from Monticule taken this past spring.
