If Big Brown had won, "Desormeaux waits" would have been up there with "moving like a tremendous machine" as TC calls go.

Worst ride ever? dont believe the hype, the horse didnt seem to be at his very best. Think about the two giant efforts he turned in before the belmont. In the belmont he just didnt have another big effort.

Let's get real here folks. Da Tara was a decent horse who got away with easy fractions against a bad crop of 3 year olds, save Big Brown, who just didn't have it that day. Kent caught flak for not trying to ride him out but I think he sensed it and never pushed him. If you look at BB's Haskell win later I think it indicates the horse had some physical ailments as that victory was not impressive at all.

Your nuts- Kent D. worst ride I ever saw with Big Brown but I'm glad- I hit the tri becuase I knew Kent D, would choke.

Yeah just like he choked this year on Summer Bird huh? Big Brown had nothing for this ride and there was nothing KD could do. Big Brown was fatigued and didn't get his usual shot of steroids. I want you to tell me in detail what you so are sure was wrong with his ride.

Big Brown never had a chance in this race because of Kent D. First, he took him out for the lead when this horse never went to the front in any of his previous races. Second, he almost clipped heels with Da Tara and fell. Third, he got hemmed in on the rail at the 1st turn where he had to pull him up. If he had rode this horse like he did Summer Bird, Big Brown would have won. Terrible ride, face it-

Watch the derby Kent took him right to nearly the front in the derby when he started from the 20 post! The pace in this race was not fast at all so what's your point. He sat behind Da'Tara and Anak Nakal two horses he should have had no problem sitting behind. He was just rank as could be and he had a 1/4 crack and 3 racesin six weeks was just too much. There's a reason why there hasn't been a triple crown in over 30 years now! It is tough to do in case you haven't noticed.

I just went back and watched the 2008 Derby. Big Brown (with that choke loser Kent D.) was fifth/ sixth (well off the pace) for 3/4 of the race. He won for fun because he was rated. I'm only responding back because you make yourself sound like you know what you're talking about. I am hear to tell the world......you don't.

He sat right behind the leaders in the Derby by the way you loser.. I have forgotten more about horse racing than your teenie tiny little brain will ever know. You have made a retard of yourself. As per usual.

He was 5th/ 6th all the way around the track in the Derby- not out front. I can't believe I have to keep repeating myself- you must really be stupid. Way to pat yourself on the back with your supposed knowledge of horse racing but I have I news for you...nobody cares. Like I said before, I won $1,900 on this race so I must know something. Stop bothering me asshole.....and stop bothering everyone else.
