The internet is a wonderful and funny thing. People read something and immediately jump on the bandwagon.
It is in vogue to call Big Brown's performance bad... A little due diligence provides a different story however.
Haskell 2008
1st call 46.59 (Second fastest in last 10 years)
2nd call 110.85 (5th fastest)
Final 148.31 (3rd fastest)
Come Home 37.46 (2nd fastest Not counting 2 lengths that Big Brown was behind at the half)
Beyer of 106 compares to Big Browns best...
How is this a bad performance ???
