Big Brown, What's up?

After losing his chance at the Triple Crown, finishing last at Belmont, there is still no diagnosis as to what happened that caused Big Brown to slow up during the race. Big Brown was picked by thousands to win the Triple Crown Saturday as he is the best horse anybody has seen in the past 30 years. Those who did so were severely dissappointed. Now a day later there is no reason as to what happened to this Colt. He seems to be walking fine, he is jogging and eating, and seems joyful for a horse. What the heck happened? Nobody really knows right now and until blood work and x-rays come back nobody may never know. Hopefully there is nothing wrong with Big Brown and he was just uncomfortable with the track as this is what his owner, Michael Iavarone thinks, "There's nothing physically that's shown up," he said, speaking by cell phone from his daughter's soccer game on Long Island. "I'm as confused as anybody. The only thing we're resorting to right now is the track might have been too deep for him and he didn't like it out there."

Though I hate the sport of horse racing I hope for the sake of Big Brown he is fine and gets back to racing. Good luck Big Brown!
