Yep, post time today in New York is 6:25 and Casino Drive has been scratched. It seems a race into history is inevitable for Big Brown. I'll be watching Big Brown capture the first Triple Crown since 1978, will you?

I watched a choker!!!!! Did you?? thats why you dont gamble on animals.. Bet 4 dollars and win 1 dollar and that horse finished 10th haha
Yeah, it was a tough break for the horse. At least he's not hurt or anything.
As far as the odds go, if anyone was just betting a Big Brown winning ticket and that was it, then they were either going to keep it as a memento, or they were an idiot. Everyone knows with odds like that you bet the exotics, like a tri or a super.:rolleyes2:

I'm glad the horse didn't win and is okay. Screw any and everybody who put down a bunch of money on Big Brown.

Rigged race. No way a horse like that ends dead last! Something up with that.
I don't think it was rigged, but I think the jockey didn't ride a good race. Big Brown is an incredibly smart horse. He wanted to take off earlier and Disormeau held him back. Big Brown fought him and wasted energy doing it. Then on the final turn Disormeau tried to let him lose, but the horse had expended too much energy and basically said "screw it, this guy wouldn't let me run when I wanted". Then Disormeau copped out and eased him up and basically quit. Atrocious. If I was the owner and trainer I'd be mad as hell...

What's that sound? Oh that's the sound of the bus that Desormeaux was just THROWN UNDER rolling over him...
That Rick Dutrow sure is a piece of work.
