Belmont?

Was it fixed?

I'd say, "You bet you it was".

Talk about disappointed, yes I am. I think maybe Dutrow should have given his that steroid shot the 15th.

Another year in disappointment, another year to wait to see my first Triple Crown

[TheQ]

An overwhelming favorite runs ninth without injury...that sounds like a fix could have been in.
38-1 longshot comes in.
In truth, it is hard to win the triple crown in horse racing.

From all reports , Big Brown scoped clear of any bleeding or mucous in the lungs and is 100% sound. The quarter crack that was such a pre race issue was a non factor. Big Brown normaly races on the anti bleeding medication Lasix which is barred on New York racing tracks. There are non medical ways to draw a horse up for racing, such as withholding electrolytes earlier and withholding water earlier than normal(the water bucket is pulled normaly 4 hours prior to racing). Big Brown was not sweating as much as most of the other horses so it looks like a combination of dehydration and fighting Desormeaux during the begining of the race wore him down.
