from bloodhorse article i just read:


I don’t really know how I feel," trainer Rick Dutrow Jr. said. "We did really good with him. It was a very disappointing race, but the horse looks like he’s fine. At right now, I can say, it looks like he’ll live a good life if he never races again. He didn’t get the Triple Crown, but we got the Derby and the Preakness and that was great.

"Right now, we’re trying to figure out what happened in the race. Everyone who was a Big Brown fan, I’m sure, was disappointed, just like I am. But, we’re going to check him out and see if he is OK. If we’re sure he is 100% getting back into training, we’ll go forward with him. If not, I’m sure we’ll just do the next thing, which is to retire him

And with those feet, he'll never be 100% so we basically know what he's saying.

i really think he's done. dutrows comments make me that much more sure that we won't see him again. unless of course you visit three chimneys.

They can't risk running him again. It's not like he finished 2nd by a length. Another performance like todays would be disasterous.

I think it is very unlikely that he will run again because that foot is going to probably take 6 months to heal. The year will be over by then.

He was never going to race again. Even Kent D hinted at it costing too much to insure. Dutrow said today after the race that Big Brown is going to have a good life. That is all I needed to hear. He was nothing special. Just your average top 3 year old.

[Danzig]

no, he's far below average for a top 3 yo. saying he's the best this year isn't saying much. did anyone note the final time for todays' race?
