Right now they're saying he isn't injured. But some are speculating of internal bleeding. |

That seems quite contradictory, doesn't it? |

Yeah I've heard both sides ![]() But I believe they meant he wasn't hurt on the outside (like his hoof). |

Yeah, ABC was talking earlier that he might have been kicked when he was in that pack on the first turn. I don't know, the commercial break after the race (and they didn't talk to the winning side, come on now!) I switched to something else. I did hear though that this is the first time a Triple Crown hopeful finished last at the Belmont. |

I think the jockey chose last over hurting Big Brown. Which was a good decision. And yes, I saw that replay too, hmm... |

Yeah, if he felt like there was anything wrong, better to take last than to possibly damage the horse. I think also at that point it was a certainty that Big Brown wasn't going to be in the top 3 anyway. Just not his day. |

It very well could have been a shoe problem that doomed Big Brown. From usatoday.com:
