:'(  Disappointing

BB gave America a thrill for two races!  Thanks big fella'!  Enjoy your Studding!

I'm not surprise, Big Brown never impressed me. IMO BB never had any heart. I always thought something funny was going, when BB was running in the triple crown. One prep race before the derby?  It like they were trying to hide something about BB. I laughed when they sayed BB derby race was faster Secretariat(OMG) .Now, Curlin is a true champion with a heart of lion. Win or lose he will fight to the end. Just my opinion!

It's sad to see any horse or animal hurt but it's probably good for Big Brown and owners/trainer that he didn't have to race Curlin as they would have been embarrased.

For someone to say they were never impressed by Big Brown is to say chocolate syrup isn't good over vanilla ice cream.  From the 20 hole in the Derby to the amazing burst in the Preakness were BOTH very impressive. 

You are right with a couple of points though - Curlin, is a true champ and he would have beaten Big Brown.  But BB did give everyone (except one person, I guess) a lot of excitement this racing season!
