Big Brown basically beat himself.

he seemed to settle by the first turn and was running well down the backside. but then you see the back group moving up on brown, and then kent asked him and nothing in response. i thought for a few seconds that he might not do it, but felt there was still a chance for him (to be honest, i didn't want to get too hopeful too soon, and then have him take off), and then sure enough, he started throwing in the towel. he just got inhaled by that back group, and then kent just pulled him up and over.
