BIG BROWN loses ignominiously!!!

Horses are not machines. The failure of BIG BROWN in the BELMONT should make that quite clear. Now the questions must be asked about ‘STEROIDS’ - IS THIS WHY ‘BIG BROWN’ RAN SO POORLY NOT BEING GIVEN HIS USUAL DOSAGE??? For years it was ‘rumored’ that BAFFERT, LUCAS & OTHER LEADING TRAINERS administered ‘drug cocktails’ to allow their horses to run so much better as if ‘magically’ having them in their barn made average horses super stars - is it time to stop ‘pussy-footing’ around STEROIDS in horse-racing and DEMAND that this sport be drug free??? YES I WROTE DRUG FREE - AND THAT INCLUDES THE SUPPOSED ANTI-BLEEDING MEDICATION LASIX WHICH IN TRUTH HAS THE ABILITY TO MASK OTHER DRUGS!!! Feed, hay, vitamins and the occassional ‘jug’ [of proteins, nutrients] should be in horses that’s it!!! Will BIG BROWN race again - at this point don’t know don’t care. ‘Crushing defeats’ like this are hard to take or just to watch - true champions try harder no matter the outcome. Had more respect for SECRETARIAT being beat first by his stable-mate and ‘rabbit’ ANGLE LIGHT and then ONION than what i saw at yesterday’s BELMONT. BELMONT is indeed the ‘graveyard of prospective champions’. CONGRATS TO ZITO AND ALL THE OTHER TRAINERS/OWNERS HORSES WHO FINISHED AHEAD OF BIG BROWN IN YESTERDAY’S RACE!!!
