For the 30th year in a row, the (Visa) Triple Crown goes unclaimed....Something went wrong during the race, and jockey Kent Desormeaux intentionally pulled up Big Brown such that he slowed down and essentially stepped out of the race; making Big Brown the first Triple Crown contender to finish last in the Belmont, and the 2nd undefeated contender to be handed his first defeat in the most important race of his career.Da'Tara won the Belmont, Big Brown was immediately sent off to be inspected for internal bleeding.

The horse probably shouldn't even have run with a split hoof. I don't know if he could have or would have won, but thankfully, he lived.

Big Brown, Barbaro and every other superhorse to be but never was will always be chasing the "ONE" and the "one and only" Secretariat. When I heard them calling Big Brown the second coming of the "ONE" I blew chunks.You are right something was wrong with BB. He missed his steroid shot remember. Fuqn pretenders built up by the media....

Big Brown has been retired.He will not face off against Curlin in the Breeder's Cup.

I saw on a web site that big brown might have gotten stpped on by the other horse making his shoe come really lose. I don't know if it is true though. . .

Come on, don't attack the horse. He tried didn't he?

this race is too painful to watch. big brown didnt even have a chance to win because of his horrible start...
BrianShaw23 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
yeah i know about his shoe but i think big brown lost the race from the start. everything went wrong for big brown from the preakness. the crack in his hoof screwed up his training routine, he didnt come into the belmont at full power and had a horrendous start. big brown's stride got busted too many times in this race by crashing into other horses...

...you ~are~ area of his shoe situation, right?
BrianShaw23 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
every time i watch this race i wonder HOW THE FUCK did big brown lose? the pace was freakin slow... it makes absolutely no sense... very bad ride from the beginning, BB slipped into macho again then tried to run over da tara then he banged into another house on the turn in order to get a good position... these are horses not race cars... sigh..

Watch BB closely from 00:19 to about 00:26 when he goes into the clubhouse turn. Something is wrong. You can watch him struggle so much more than all the other horses, something was definitely wrong from the beginning, and I still haven't figured out what.
