Big Brown......?

Question

Well i am worried about Big Brown the racing horse he ran for the tripple crown and he lost they say he is okay but do you guys think that they might put him down?? I dont think so but im still worried..

Should i be worried or do you think he will be okay??

Answer 1

Jillian why do you think they would put him down?  Simple because he lost that is nonsense. He is already set to go to stud either later this fall or early 2009. I had heard they might run him in one finale race in the fall before the send him to stud. They aren’t going to put him down just because he lost, honestly there are several horse in the past 10 years that have come very close to taking the crown, won the first 2 races but lost the 3rd.

Due to his bad feet imo he should not go to stud but he is they already made plans for it. They said he would regarldess if he won the crown. This is the problem with horse racing breeding horses that have some time physical issues. No doubt Big Brown will pass some of his feet issues on to his offspring.

Answer 2

No, why would they?  Big Brown did not break any of his limbs.  Plus that horse is worth millions by now,not because he lost but because he was the closest to winning the triple crown.

Answer 3

He's safe they won't put him down, unless he develops erectile dysfunction of course.

Answer 4

They won't put him down, but he won't be bred because he has bad feet.  I think he lost a shoe during the race.

Answer 5

No, they won't put him down.  Don't be worried.  That horse walked off the track completely sound.  He just didn't bring his race today... that doesn't mean he's sick or injured... it's 95 degrees out there today... how would you run a mile and a half today?  The Triple Crown is hard... he's just not feeling his best today.

Answer 6

Unless he has some life threatening injury, they will not put him down.  He is worth more for his stud abilities than his racing right now anyway.  People will pay thousands to breed their mares with him, hoping for the next Triple Crown winner.

Answer 7

he's fine. im just suprised he got last
