hahahahhahah, so great. Rick Dutrow was so pissed when he was leaving, he thought he had the race in the bag. Shouldn't have been running Big Brown in the shape that he was in, he wasn't near 100%

Something is wrong that the jokey pulled him up.

Well, this race was a big challenge for Big Brown to be sure. Coming off of his injury and running the longest race of his career in the heat, it would have taken a pretty legendary performance for him to come through.

I didn't see him finish last...I thought he was fourth with an 1/8th mile left? Either way, Desormeaux was clearly easing him off during the final stretch because Big Brown just didn't have it today.

Great race by Da'Tara....just wish I could see a Triple Crown winner. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I wish I wouldve bet on da tara

Yeah, he just ended up pulling off of him at the end. No sense in risking injury when you don't win the race.

He was in third till the last stretch, but didn't have enough to come through.. He got pushed out because he had terrible line position. The outside of the pack at the Belmont.. there cant be any harder position to recover from. But knowing Big Brown's explosiveness, he shoulda been about to come from the outside and pull into the lead.

He obviously wasn't 100% for whatever reason, because that's not the Big Brown we all saw in the Derby and Preakness.

BB was not pushed at the preakness, all the other horses were lame. even the so called experts have called BS no BB and how he really hasnt been challenge and not cause he's that good just a weak field of horses this year.

most people are missing the fact that history was still made today...

 

[hoss 5,000+ posts]

big brown is the first horse in the history of the races to be the favor to take the triple crown, only to come in dead last...
