Big Brown

[Scooter]

My heart is broken after the Belmont today. Hope Big Brown is okay! Thought 30 years would be the charm! Anyone?

 

[Beach Runner]

Yeah, we've been looking forward to this since the Preakness. We wanted Big Brown to win, but more importantly we didn't want him to get hurt like Eight Belles did at the Derby. Hopefully he's okay and that it was just the heat.

I'll have to admit that there was a lot of commercialization with UPS logos everywhere. But that's not the horse's fault.

Yes I thought he would do it but was REALLY glad the jockey decided to hold him back and not let him be injured. But am still wishing that I had a couple of bills on Da Tara

been gone,what happened to Big Brown?

 

[Smiling JOe]

he cracked a toe nail, but the jockey has no clue why he didn't run.

That horse is about to become a very happy horse. Who knows how much his sperm will sell for and how many buyers there will be?

Breeding right have already been sold for $12 mil. If he had won, each breeding would have brought $300,000. He can probably do about 100 a year.

He did not have his steroid shot this month. Maybe that made the difference.

I have never been an "I told you so" type, but I called this one. When I found out he drew the one slot on the rail, I told my wife "they will bump him into the rail right out of the gate and he'll never recover." That's pretty much what happened. I don't think the cracked hoof had anything to do with it.

I heard they scratched another horse prior to race time due to a hoof problem. I just don't think Big Brown had it to go that distance. He looked like he wasn't acting right from even before the race started. Poor horse. I don't normally watch horse races. But our UPS driver at our work was wearing Big Brown buttons on his uniform and even gave me one. He was talking about the race for several days. I am sure he was disappointed.

That's a lot of mating! My husband and I are lucky to produce ONE child every few years!
