Big Kwame was a disgrace at Belmont. All he had to do was give it his all one final time, and he couldn't do it. **** him.

He wins. He's one of the most dominant horse ever. He lost because he didn't feel like racing.

He didn't feel like racing? Is he Randy Moss?

He's the Randy Moss of horse racing. Seriously though, he just pulled up because something made him not want to race. Had he actually gone all the way through with it, he would have won.

I feel like the thread title has a double meaning, because I'm sure he will be pumped up with steroids.

actually, he won't be, remember he's going clean? probably why he didn't feel like racing. he didn't get his daily dose of HGH and adrenaline, so he went ballistic

I thought it was the horse shoe?
And since when did the horse decide not to race, I thought that's what the whip was for.

Big Brown made a late comeback down the backstretch and overtook Coal Play to win the Haskell. Shit. He went off at 1-to-5 odds at post time, too.

Re: Big Brown pumped up for his first post-Belmont race.

This gets me thinking: Is the Belmont truly more important than the Haskell when the horse can't distinguish the significance?

Wow. 1-5 odds. That's like the 1-5 vote count. Who was the 1? Me. I told you guys he's good. He sits back at like 3rd or 4th and just launches at the end. The Belmont was a fluke.

He's no Randy Moss, He's Manny. It's just Brownie being Brownie. What do you expect?

I feel like it is, simply because the competition is tougher. Only the best horses enter that race because of the high entrance fee.

Re: Big Brown pumped up for his first post-Belmont race.

It's more important to the humans, but to the horses, I don't think any race has THAT much more significance.
