What does that have to do with it? I agree with you, but it has nothing to do with an injury to the animal. It's lousy for the sport in general that the possible Curlin-Big Brown match up will not happen. I know Curlin was only a maybe, with the workout today, but now it's possible neither will be there, which is unfortunate.

Where you really hot in the panties to see Big Brown vs. Curlin... The last thing the sport needed to see was these two over hyped OK horses further hyped and some Student Council type rag upset them both on Pro Ride.. Geez you make it seem like it was a fascinating match race.. What did you think it was Easy goer Sunday Silience? It was bearly Pleasant Home vs. that Jerkins filly?lol

It would have been good for the sport. You would think that they would have advertised the hell out of it and try to draw in as many of the "casual fans" that only watch the TC races. Overrated or not, they would have had a matchup to sell.

casual fans please... I couldn't give Big Brown tees and merch away... Smarty stuff flew off the retailers shelves. Nobody cared about Big Turd or his ridiculous connections, as for Curlin he is a nice grade one horse who thankfully hung around for a 4 year old campaign, He is hardly a super horse he is hardly a super fast horse. Clearly Curlin is racing against swill and 4 mil of his bloated earning is from a race which he beat 12 horses from Uraguay South African and Turkey.. i have nothing against Curlin he is certainly a very good horse but can we save the real excitement for a real event not some manufactured BS race?

I think the Xtra heat filly winning her maiden with a 103 beyer is more exciting then watching Big Turd get crushed by some Mitchel 80 claimer on juice BC day..lol

The only "turd" references that should be made are to your comments. Nobody cared about Big Brown? How about the incremental audience he brought to the tracks/television/press? How about UPS? Yeah nobody cared.

So if you didn't like him or the connections, you tuned in to see Curlin or someone else blow the doors off BB. We always talk around here about the good of the sport and getting more people interested in racing. Don't you think that a classic with BB and Curlin would have generated some more interest in the BC and horse racing in general? Granted that they might not be superhorses, but last time I checked there aren't too many of those out there.

The additional interest would've been marginal at best, IMO.
