Not if you have a front-runner, you don't wait 'til the last turn.

They weren't OUTLAWED. I don't think there even is any national way to regulate since each state has its own racing commission. They just didn't seem like a great idea (silly, of course, and it's a shame.)

Now there is only one: Curlin...and it's off to the breeding shed for Big Brown.

And anothing not only was it. Hotter than heck for this years Belmont. Big Brown was also stepped on and one of his back shoes was coming off. So i think the combantion of the triple its' self. The heat and being stepped on. And running with a lose shoe spelled doom poor Big Brown.

I think Big Brown has the advantage against Curlin. Since I heard Jerry Baley say. While watching a race that turf horses like the synthetic. And since Big Brown ran and won on the grass. He has the advantage. Don't get me wrong Curlin is a good horse. But I and even my aunt think that Big Brown will win.

Are you sure? In all states? Thanks...

Why is no one noticing that Santa Anita's pro-ride track is fair with no speed biases...Gary Stevens says its the best track hes ridden on. Breeders cup challenge saturday all the horses that should've won...won. What more can you ask for? and I read its 70% dirt anyhow.

they dont run the horses full speed (Unless you watch QH racing) they are paced and make their move on the last turn.
