Im sorry but this is about the dumbest thing i have read on this or any other internet board. The horse is obviously empty and beaten before the final turn in a race with slow fractions and you want to blame the jockey?
never ceases to amaze me.

Lots of 1-5 shots lose everyday in racing. The difference is, most 1-5 shots lose without being eased down the entirety of the stretch. Most 1-5 shots give an honest effort; I'm not so sure that is what we saw yesterday.

I'm shocked at all this Sunday morning quarter backing regarding Big Brown. I guess the blame has to fall somewhere.
They broke from the gate, and Kent did the same thing he's done every race and let Big Brown find his stride. Now, Garcia sends and ducks with Da' Tara, while Coa moves in with Tale of Ekati. When Kent wanted to move outside with Big Brown, Coa said, "No way jose" and kept him inside. Big Brown has ALWAYS raced outside of horses. Dirt has never been kicked in his face. Kent needed to get him outside. But instead, let's say he stays inside. At what point in any point of this horse race, did you think any one of those jockey's would have let him out down the backside? None. It wasn't Big Brown's day to win. Plain and simple. Blaming the jockey is always so convenient. If Big Brown was truly deserving of a Triple Crown, he would have overcome the few strides of adversity and won the race regardless.

My problem is way less with the part of the race that mattered, I just didn't appreciate the easing of a perfectly sound horse once it was apparent he wouldn't win.

I blame the Detroit Red Wings. After all, they won their last 4 Stanley Cups in 1997, 1998, 2002, and 2008. In those years, Silver Charm, Real Quiet, War Emblem, and Big Brown won the first two legs of the triple crown only to lose the Belmont.
If you can't tell, I live in the suburbs of Detroit. Go Wings.

Pretty simple to see that Big Brown wasn't going to warm up, watch the replay of the prerace warm ups, Kent knew he didn't have the same horse.
The horse didn't like being stuck inside and they wanted him on the outside and that's what kent did. Big Brown just didn't do it.
