It's amazing to me the lengths people will go to try to imagine things that aren't there.
From a betting standpoint, Big Brown was very much an all or nothing horse, and his distribution in the runner up spots in exotic wagers was surely different than your usual heavy favorite. Plus, those pools reflect more realistic odds, as they don't contain the infrequent bettors just playing the TC hopeful to win. The bottom line is the tri and super payoffs were in line.
As for the ride on Big Brown......way too much of nothing. Believe it or not, jockeys have very little to do with outcomes overall and certainly nothing to do with horses that run last.

Since joining DT, I am most surprised to hear that from so many. To the common race track goer, I know that jocks are on their initial "to do" list when handicapping, which I'm sure makes you happy.
