Big Brown will be front and center today at Belmont Park as he makes a run at horse racing's Triple Crown, but regardless of what happens, he won't be the one making the most noise. That will be his trainer. Rick Dutrow says things that would make Terrell Owens blush.

Now, if only bulletin-board material actually made a difference to horses.
Here are Dutrow's best sound bites since Big Brown started his Triple Crown pursuit:
•5. About Big Brown easily winning the Preakness: "I was not surprised that he won so easy because I know we have a good horse and I know he was running a race where they didn't have good horses running.”
•4. About Big Brown drawing the No. 1 post position for the Belmont: "I just can't see a post position getting him beat. As long as we break good, I can see us getting a good trip. There is not a lot of speed in the race.”
•3. About the horses racing Belmont that weren't in the field for the first two legs of the Triple Crown: "I don't think they add too much.”
•2. About Casino Drive and whether he can upset Big Brown today: "He's got no chance of beating our horse. I'll be in the winner's circle when they get to the quarter pole.”
•1. About Big Brown winning the Triple Crown: "I feel like ... it's actually a foregone conclusion. I see the horses in with him and I see our horse, and I expect him to win it.”
