It may be a F2 of Big Beef.

Very interesting. Usually an F2 of a hybrid tomato variety with multiple disease resistances such as Big Beef will segregate and recombine without all of the disease resistances inherent in the F1.
Which of the disease resistances in Big Beef hybrid (VFFNTA) plagues your garden?
If your F3s and future generations continue to display superior tolerance to the diseases common in your locale, your selections may prove very valuable for you and your gardening neighbors.
Best of luck in 2010.
