With two legs of the Triple Crown completed, Big Brown has captivated horse racing enthusiasts across the country for the past couple of weeks. Although he has a crack on the inside of his left hoof, Big Brown should be ready to go at the Belmont Stakes next weekend.

After Big Brown won the Kentucky Derby earlier this month, many folks were discussing the death of philly Eight Belles, who was put down immediately following the race. One of the people who wanted to discuss the situation was NCAA President Myles Brand, who engages on the topic in this week's edition of Mondays With Myles.

Dr. Brand discusses horse racing, gene manipulation and performance-enhancing substances in a candid conversation with NCAA Vice President Wally Renfro.

While Dr. Brand and Mr. Renfro discussed the subject thoughtfully, they cautiously circumvented mentioning the quite real danger of a malevolent group using science to attempt to create a "super race." It has been tried before, by Nazi Germany; it's part of the history of World War II.
