I have a hard time believing the early trip did him in. He was all done by the 5 F pole. Real good horses can overcome having their preferred trip taken away and he didn't do it. Not at all. I can see the start costing him the race if he'd fought at least a little harder a little longer. But I just can't buy the trip took so much out of him that he was done when he was. Same goes for the track condition.
My guess is the foot -- or something else -- was bothering him and he wrapped himself up. But they don't talk so who knows. But as much as he dominated his prior three fields, he really had no non-physical excuse to run so bad.

"What I don't like is the fact that Real Quiet, Funny Cide and now Big Brown all ran on the exact same dates and they all failed. May 4, May 17 and June 7. It's kind of, I don't like it. I didn't know that beforehand, I know it now."
I don't get the point of this statement.

No one has really brought up the point/question, but BB was a horse with what 6 career starts and racing for the third time in 5 weeks. Add that to the tempertaure and a little adversity (rail, catching a little dirt) which he has never had. The loss in training time due to the foot. Plus racing against fresher (not neccesarly better) horses. Maybe it was just a recipe for disaster. I just don't think Kent did anything wrong.

Wonder who'll be on BB in The Travers now  Not that it matters if he's a "push button horse"

-3rd start in five weeks for a horse that they said needs time between races. -the quartercrack and loss of training time. -questionable to be at his best for the distance -at least in my mind. -a declining pattern since the Florida derby. -possible problem with the heat -no recent winstrol there were some trouble signs.

I probably missed it elsewhere, but assuming he does run again (big if) Kent seems to think they will run twice, Travers then Breeders Cup. I sure was hoping to see him try olders on dirt, but that ain't happening.

the horse just bounced.... not like it's been done before... nor will be done after.
due to that, there's nothing that Kent could have done to prevented it.... nor anyone else. He'll bouce back the next out, just like any other horse would... let alone a proven champion like Big Brown. It wasn't the horses's fault, nor the jock's.... it's just something that happens in racing. And a proven champion like Big Brown and Kent will come back as the champions that they are.
