Big is Back!

This weekend is a big one for horse racing fans at Churchill Downs. No, not the Kentucky Derby - the return to action tomorrow of exciting sprinter Think Big in the G2 Twin Spires Turf Sprint Stakes!

A really game winner last time out of the G2 Shakertown Stakes at Keeneland, Think Big is drawn 7 of 12 in tomorrow's 5 1/2 furlong turf sprint, worth a cool $600,000. Ben Curtis is on board.

Think Big has a tough task ahead of him tomorrow. Arguably his toughest opponent will be Rogue Lightening, out of the European stable of Tom Clover. But the Stidham runner is a 4-1 shot on the Morning Line, and importantly, he appears to be still on the improve.
