Posted: 2008-06-07 22:41:25 NEW YORK (June 7) - When Big Brown turned for home, something wasn't right. Jockey Kent Desormeaux knew the big bay colt was finished. Trainer Rick Dutrow Jr., who guaranteed racing's first Triple Crown in 30 years, knew it, too. Big Brown straggled home last Saturday, losing the Belmont Stakes to 38-1 long shot Da' Tara, who led wire-to-wire. Eased up in the homestretch, the 1-4 favorite was so far behind at the end that his margin of defeat wasn't even charted. "He was empty. He didn't have anything left," Desormeaux said. "There's no popped tires. He's just out of gas." Full story here http://sports.aol.com/story/_a/big-brown-f...7592x1200411235 -------------------- "We have always been a fighting union. We must never lose our alertness or go soft in the gut or we won't be worth a damn." Dave Beck
