I hear you. You don't want to say that they are lying but I think to deny that the thought enters into a lot of people's minds about the legitimacy of it is to not be honest.

Im sure breeders will be lining up to breed to another unsound, fragile, overrated stallion with eggshells for feet.

Oy, this has been one soap opera, and the ones that have lived off the backs of this horse have now be silenced. Close the book, and toss it. The show is over. Thank god.

Hope BB heals and can go to doing only what I dream about...getting laid on a regular basis.

To be honest Lori, this is ridiculous.

First, Team Curlin has not decided to run in the Classic.. And according to Brad Free and other California sources, are leaning against running. The workout today will tell a lot.

Second, it was Big Brown's plan to run in the Classic since August. Why should he and his connections be insulted when they were always going to the Cup?

Steve, I understand what you are saying, and I also understand there is a 'line' here, but come on, given the connections lack of a spine and the greasyness about them, one has to wonder.

These guys have constantly tried to one up and love the spotlight, who doesn't, but I would be surprised if more then 10% of the racing public likes Iavorane, and there might be ONE Dutrow fan out there.

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

I wish some of you from the beginning who never gave this horse the credit he deserves (because of your dislike for the connections) would start a Big Brown connections thread and spew your insults there. He had a lot of great accomplishments this year and somehow that seems to get lost. Kind of unfair for the horse.

Regardless of how terrible some thought his competition was, how slow, bad beyers, could never beat this one or that one, etc., etc., no other race horse had a better year in 2008. That is a fact.
