After the work, Nevin was low-key about the move. When asked if Big Brown felt the same to her as he did during his works for the Triple Crown races, she said, “He was alright. (The work) wasn’t anything special.”

As much as I'd love to see him race again, I have serious doubts, like most that that is going to happen. The work sucked, and there is more to this story than they are letting on.

They may not need to replace Kent on this horse. He looks like he is about to have his mysterious injury and be retired. You want to talk about a horse losing value. Wow. Looks like 3 races in 5 weeks ruined him. Not surprising with his lack of seasoning.

He galloped out 6 furlongs in 1:21.50, not 7 furlongs.

Exercise riders are normaly so enthusiastic and complimentary about the way their horses work. Michelle's comments are not a good sign at all.

www.Nybreds.com describes Nevin as being nonchalant so who knows. 2nd paragraph.

I don't know how he typically works but why burn him out before the Haskell ? He needs to peak then, not now.

No need to be alarmed about the time of the workout, it was supposed to be slow. Now if his next few works are not up to par, then i will be worried. You know im not comparing Big Brown and Curlin, but Asmussen always works Curlin real slow off a race, or when there is no race in the near future. i witnessed a couple 1/2's in 53 or so this year, and a real slow 5/8 also. But when Ass tightened the screws a bit, Curlin always responded. Lets wait and see if BB has the same response.

I'm willing to give the horse some time, but something just does'nt seem right. Like you say.. Lets wait and see.
