What Beyer Did Big Brown get yesterday....

[Antitrust32]

I dont know why it would be low... the pace was excellent and final time was good. I didnt watch the other races though so I have nothing to compare it with.

Big Brown did not look bad at all.. and considering all the circumstances he raced really well. I just hope hes not a hurt horse!

I think considering all that has gone on the past two months he raced well yes.

He looked like he was really struggling through the turn and he gritted it out during the streach. The pace was good (135 for a mile) and Coal Play ran a heck of a race.

Big Brown could have thrown in the towel but he won the race so as I said, with all things of the past 2-3 months considered, he ran real well. IMO

Rumored to be a 106:

I thought the whole race was an eyesore and I hope Music Note goes in the Travers so we can see a real horse.

Wouldn't you want him to continue racing to prove that?

My argument against Big Brown is that he is a good 3YO running against perhaps the worst crop I can remember. Hypothetically, where do you honestly think Big Brown would have finished had he taken on a field of talented runners that competed in last year's Haskell? Namely, Any Given Saturday, Hard Spun and Curlin. Enough said!

doesn't matter what we want. iavarone has said since, what, april i think, that big brown will not run after his 3 yo season. he has to retire and give us future pictures of soundness and ability just like their old man.
