Sucks about the injury though, that horse has some REAL BAD feet.

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.

Better he tear his foot off now working, than get his head torn off by Curlin in 2 weeks.

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

That dang pro ride crap.........he never should have been working on it.

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?

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.

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.

While I don't want to say they are lying, you have to admit that it is natural to be skeptical. True, they haven't decided to run Curlin in the Classic. But back when Big Brown's camp was issuing their challenges, the Curlin camp was pretty much against the BC all the way. Now they've at least publicly changed their stance and are publicly seriously considering it. So is it a coincidence that on the day Curlin's fate could be decided, Big Brown's people back out before the work? Consider for a minute if BB's people had decided they weren't going if Curlin did go. How would it look if they waited til after Curlin's camp says he will go? Not good. A lot of conjecture here, I know. But I think it's at least plausible.

I've rooted for Big Brown every race he's been in, and I dont doubt the injury, considering I know how bad his feet are.

But ever since Curlins team announced they were going, after the JCGC, I didnt think Big Brown would show up. His connections are so egotistical that they wouldnt want their big boy to be beat on the big stage.

LOL @ insulting a horse (whats the point of that?), but The Connections deserve any bit of insult they get.

Why should Big Brown be scared of Curlin? I'm sorry but I think you are way off base on the conspiracy theory. If anything Curlin's connections should be considered the one's that are ducking more than Big Brown's. Really to be so indecisive about putting the best horse in America into the premiere race of the year and to leave it to one work weeks out from the race, speaks volumes of how confident they really are.

[letswastemoney]

So if Big Brown isn't there, does that mean Curlin might not run since it won't mean anything?

Tough news for the sport, but the Breeder's Cup will still be fun!
