I wonder how much a superfecta will pay out. 😛

2 dollar was around $50,000.
Trifecta was around $4,000.
Exacta $750

I never would have picked Da Tara. Career winnings 64K, hasn't won since Jan. 5th.

Because he's fat and he's been in the heat all day?



Anyway, I imagine the suicide rate jumps a tiny bit tonight from people betting their life's savings on Big Brown and now going in to ruin.

ABC said that about 5.3 million was bet on him at the track alone... can't even imagine how much was bet around the 'States.

Cause he's overweight, has an inflated pulse rate due to his drug use, it's 90* and his blather just came back to bite him on the ass.

Fat sweat + drug sweat + heat sweat + flop sweat = lots of sweat

The betting pools include all off track/internet wagering so it was 5.3 mil total. I think the overall win pool was around 9mil

$5.9 million had been bet at the track on Big Brown by race time. This number did not include the online gambling sites.
 
So was it too much track or too little Winstrol????



(I'm thinkin' bleeding lungs, or cracked hoof had nothing to do with it, but one of the two above.....imho)

It looks like Big Brown is going to visit the glue factory.

Nonsense, the horse looked fine. He just really didn't want to run. Probably the heat and the foot - the horse wasn't comfortable.

Desormeaux (jockey) was working him too early and I was concerned early in the race. Could be a whole lot of things but Big Brown didn't want to run and the jockey made a smart decision.

There were plenty of fatties there not sweating that much though, it was ridiculous how much he was sweating. It was a Bruce Pearl situation. He much of been really nervous as well, even though he said he wasn't.

Not too surprised Big Brown didn't win.
 
Biggest choke ever.

I'm actually pretty happy Big Brown lost. The horse doesn't know any better, and the owner is one of the biggest douches in the world. He was counting his chickens before they hatched and was being too cocky in every interview.

Read the entire equation to figure out where he differed from the other fatties. I didn't write it in secret code.
