Obviously if he returns to his old self he's vindicated for yesterday's clunker . . . but I don't think anyone is arguing that he was exposed for what he really is yesterday - it's obvious that he didn't fire. It is possible, however, that he could win the Travers and even BCC and still be looked at as an ok horse in a terrible crop.


2. If yesterday was Big Brown's last race, will he still win Top 3 year old award for 2008? Or can any late entry for the rest of this year over take that title?

He's still obviously the favorite for the eclipse award at this point - but someone could definitely step up and take it.

i doubt he could win the bcc, not even mentioning curlin, but i think heatseeker and tiago could beat him in cali
