Workout injury ends Big Brown Cup hopes, career..

[ELA]

I can't believe some of the comments I am reading, but I guess I shouldn't be shocked. Like either horse or not, here, in this forum, as fans -- we would have all liked to see Curlin and Big Brown (both fit, liking the track, healthy, etc.). So BB got hurt and won't race. Disappointed, pissed off, whatever. OK, I get that.

Conspiracy, accusations coming from timing of a few hours, pictures, grassy knowlls and magic bullets -- and more opportunities to criticize connections; sure, that really has credibility.

I still don't know whether or not Curlin is going, and I would think Jackson is going to rely on Team Asmussen, Richard Mandella, and whoever else he designates. I don't know. If he's good to go, I'd like to see him. If not, so be it. The BC days will be what they will be. I guess if you don't like them enough, dislike them, hate them, whatever, you don't have to play. Turn the page.
