Super User Hookemdown. Posted June 8, 2008 Super User Posted June 8, 2008 Dead last. Wow. I almost burst out laughing when I heard this. He was supposed to be a sure win, the first triple crown in 30+ years. Quote
Super User Tin Posted June 8, 2008 Super User Posted June 8, 2008 I got a good laugh too because of how cocky his owners have been since the last race. Quote
CJ Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Though I hadn't seen him run, I saw the interveiw with his owner on ESPN. The guy was so sure of his horse. I also missed the race today but, from what I had heard he was supposed to blow the other horses away. Maybe Big Brown needed his roids they didn't give him? Or 1 1/2 miles was a quarter mile to long. I guess that owner got his bubble bursted or it was rigged. Quote
Ky_Lake_Dude Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 aw they aint complaining because even though he didnt get the triple crown the owners and trainers and everybody are still gonna get about $80Million per stud Quote
KYbass1276 Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 I have a somewhat interesting story about the jockey that rode affirmed and won the triple crown 30 some years ago. If anyone is interested I'll post it if not I'm not wasteing time writeing it. Quote
Popeye Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 I watched the race and personally don't THINK the horse was 100%. Either that or someone got much richer betting on the 38 to 1 longshot that did win. IMO. Quote
