Big Brown was never settled until he got outside, which between at that point and the far turn, it was realized the horse was empty anyway.
And in a 6 furlong race, that would be a problem. But at a mile and a half on the dirt, at some point, there's gonna be an opening. Look what happened in the Preakness. Edgar tried to pin him in, and Kent just calmly took Big Brown back and guided him to the outside. In the Belmont, there was nothing calm about Kent's move.

Also, this still doesn't explain the prostate exam that Big Brown almost performed on Da Tara.
