Big Brown was the favorite to win to today’s 140th running Belmont Stakes, lost in a Heartbreaking Upset was defeated by Da’Tara.
The undefeated Big Brown, who never ran better than third in today’s Belmont Stakes, made history by becoming the first Triple Crown hopeful to finish dead last in the Belmont Stakes. In fact, the colt sadly never crossed the finish line.
“It was hot as hell out there,” said Big Brown’s jockey Kent Desormeaux. He went on to say, “He was empty. He didn’t have anything left,” “I had no horse. He’s the best horse I’ve ever been on so I took care of him.”
