Big Things Expected of Big Brown at Belmont

SportsBig Things Expected of Big Brown at BelmontBig Things Expected of Big Brown at BelmontThe Associated PressThe horse they call 'the Freak' arrived at Belmont Park Monday, just two days after blowing away the field in the Preakness. As AP correspondent Ted Shaffrey reports, he's one win away from immortality. (May 19)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] ((Long Island, NY)) What can Big Brown do for horse racing? NATS: clop, clop, clop If he wins the Belmont, he'll be the first Triple Crown winner in 30 years. The thoroughbred arrived Monday in New York, three weeks before the Belmont Stakes. He's already won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes. ((Rick Dutrow, Trainer)) "He's got a certain aura about him that most people love." ((Kent Desormeaux, Jockey)) "This is out there man, this is history, TAKE VO, all we need now are the racing Gods. I am absolutely in aw of the race this horse just gave me." ((Ted Shaffrey, The Associated Press))

they talked like they won it. its like people i know they won the race before it happens. and what was the out come of the race. brighten up trainer/owner/jockey.the horse is not a machine.a machines breakes you fix it. a horse breaks you try and fix it . it will always be their the problem give your head a shake.

It is not BB's fault. as for the jockey well here in Canada we still wonder about Dancer's loss at the Belmont back in 1964! Who knows but Dennis of Cork is a great horse too. too bad Dutrow got cocky about it. I just hope there was no moneky business.

I don't think he will win from the inside. I say he gets boxed then clears to the out side on the final turn but runs out of gas, only to finish last

That aura this guys smells is crap!

I am sorry for BB losing, a horse, no grudges, but thanks to the classless trainer Dutrow, many loved BB losing. When you are so bold to say BB is another Secretariat or tell the trainer of Denis of Cork (2nd place), DOC is a pile of shit..you ask for it and Dutrow got it. How is the crow Dutrow..? BB could had a bigger fan base if wasn't for Dutrow and IEAH.

Kent Desormeaux has struck again(1998-Real Quiet). Let's all hope they finally ban the most crooked jockey in racing, KENT DESORMEAUX!!

[majesticbob2007]

1973 there was a real man named Secretariat. Holds the belmont record that many say will never be broken, has the Kentucky Derby record, and to many holds the Preakness record even with the time clock controvery. A true man. Sorry BB tou loss, but to Trainer Dutrow, BB is not comparable to Secretariat, even if he won Belmont.

Today's horses, like today's men, are pussies. Maybe the answer is to make the Belmont 1 1/8 miles so we can have a modern triple crown winner. They've dumbed down everything else to be accomodating.
