What the Horse Racing Nation is saying about Big Brown...

A look at some of the most recent upsets in the Belmont StakesRead More
One thing that is for sure, is that if I’ll Have Another does not get the respect he deserves going into the 2012 Belmont, should he win, taking the Triple Crown, he should go down as one of the most respected Triple Crown winners in the history of the series.Read More

  • lynn.nely · I have respect for all the horses in the world. Think they are the greatest animal on this earth. I respect I'll Have Another although my pick was Bode. I do hope that we have a triple crown winner and expect that we will. He has the speed and the stimula to do it. This has been in the making for a very long time and I am looking so forwarded in seeing history being made again. Good Luch I'll Have Another in you races and becoming the new Triple Crown Winner. · 5 days ago ·

I’ll Have Another will try to become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978 when he runs in the Belmont Stakes on Saturday, June 9. Since Spectacular Bid in 1979, eleven 3-year-olds have won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness only to fail in their Triple Crown quest at Belmont Park. Spec...Read More

  • AnnaK · Would love a Triple Crown, mostly because it would pull people in to the races, (already started I like to think), plus IHA is such a strong red engine and Mario is excellent, that it just might be. Can't see Dullahan doing it, 27 in the last q good to know, that fancy inefficient leg work, so IHA and UR and anyone else can duke it out. · 4 days ago ·

From 1987 to 2011, the average winning Kentucky Derby Beyer was 109. Until 2009, it was really a given that the winner had to get into that range. No more. Once is an aberration. Four times is a pattern. Mine That Bird got a 105 when he won in 2009 by 6 3/4 lengths. Which means the rest of them ran ...Read More

I think being astride a horse naked in a tasteful photo shoot(all three goodies covered) is less of a cry for attention than these ???? comments, but maybe that's just me. · 16 days ago ·

  • josh.atkinson2 · Unfortunately, Big Brown's trainer, Rick Dutrow admitted many times to news outlets that he was on Stanozlol, and anabolic steroid.Dutrow said that he administered the steroid to every horse on the 15th of every month. Big Brown was not given his shot on May 15th. The effects of the steroid last a little over a month, then the desired effects wear off quickly and side effects set in. By this time the Belmont was just around the corner and Dutrow opted not to give Big Brown a steroid shot for this month. He continued the shot after the Belmont stakes. Many people, including myself, believe that Big Brown in the Belmont was not hurt, but was going through the side effects of not receiving his shot.

  • 12thCrown · I think FG spacing the race as is hurts their chances for top contenders. Very few will wheel back for another race like Nehro did last year. But it's shocking they don't draw better candidates with the $1 million purse! I love visiting that track... can't believe Asmussen is heading west this winter. · 148 days ago ·
