The connections were disappointed. If you read more into than they do you're mistaken.

I think the shed awaits. I should be so lucky.

BB fired out running & KD strangles him back, again. This discourages the horse. Then he fans him good and the horse obliges, lugging out to get away from the track and from Kent.

It's very simple to see this horse doesn't like this rider. Watch the body language. They fight. BB needs a chilly, sit-still, calm type of rider, not one who acts like he has ants in his pants. The chemistry is not there between them. The trainer has known this for a long time, Ivarone needs to listen to him about this.

Big Brown looked doubtful...



Did he ask Atoned in the paddock if his new saddle made his ass look fat?

big brown broke very well. shot out of the gate..but then as soon as coal play ranged up, kent didn't ease the horse back. he put the brakes on. not a smooth ride early on at all.
it's a shame that edgar was injured when this horse ran his first race. prado was supposed to have the mount, but kent got the call since edgar couldn't ride. the rest is history.

Actually, Jeremy Rose got the call when Edgar couldn't ride.

really?
hmm i read the article about prado making the HOF, and it made it seem he lost out due to injury, and desormeaux got the call.
oh well, not the first time i've seen a mistake in an article.
