  • It is very funny how people who have never ridden a horse can yap about a horrible ride. You people can't even recognize it was the HORSE who was rank and Kent was doing everything possible to get him to come back to him. Don't even try to tell me you have rode a racehorse,because if you did you would know exactly what I am talking about when it comes to a RANK horse!! LOL!!!!!!!!

  • First off, the 1/4 crack had not been repaired when they worked the horse on Tuesday, so no they would not have noticed the problem. The crack does not cause the pain for the horse, it is the build up of puss(from the abscess) under the hoof that causes the pain. Think about it like a bad blister on your foot, you can walk fine, you can jog fine, but if pushed to the limit, you are just not going to have it....Also, I would not put too much faith in the words coming out of Dutrow's mouth....

  • he lost this race because he wasnt all juiced up like he had been to all his prior races.if you remember they made such a big deal in the weeks leading up to the belmont about dutrow jucing his horses up.and i dont want to hear about the races he won after this race because im sure dutrow juiced him back up.dutrow is 1 of the biggest cheaters in the game which almost lead him to a lifetime ban earlier this year where they said he had at least 60 infractions in the past few years.

  • no horse will ever win the Triple Crown again.

  • this announcer was amusing :)

  • @GBeret83 I agree completely... And then this year was just another triple crown thrown away... I thought fkr sure with 200 yards that animal kingdom would win... If Uncle Mo was healthy and ran in the derby i really thought he would have had a shot at the TC this year.

  • Looking back on this race, I'm still undecided if it was actually Big Brown or Kent Desormeaux that just didn't want to put forth the effort in the Belmont Stakes on the day? What's ironic is that of the three Triple Crown field's that Big Brown faced in 08', the Belmont was the weakest field of the 3, IMO. If Big Brown had run like he did in the Derby and Preakness in this race? He would've run Da'Tara off his feet. Smarty Jones should've won the T.C. in 04', Big Brown in 08'. JMO.

  • Curlin would have won this race. and kent like borel at the preakness simply just blew it.

  • From ESPN.com June 5, 2008 - "In early May, Dutrow acknowledged in the New York Daily News that he gives every horse in his stable an injection of Winstrol on the 15th of each month, but not if the horse was not in training." Winstrol is the commercial name of the then permitted anabolic steroid stanozolol. Mr. Dutrow claimed Big Brown was last given the drug on April 15th. Stanozolol is considered effective for recovery from training.

  • He should had finish the race...

  • Dutrw couldnt get BB the juice, instead he had to race on the square. Friggin cheater.

  • @vvssitic are you fucking stupid
