From the overhead shots it looked like maybe Big Brown maybe handle the track. The composition of the Belmont surface is different than Churchill or Pimlico and some horses just don't handle it. Like running on the beach.

Desormeaux knew he had no chance before they hit the stretch so he eased BB to the wire. Had he thought he was hurt he would have pulled him up and got off as soon as he could.

Could have been the heat, could have been the track, maybe just wasn't his day.

Nice to see a crowd of over 120,000 show up.
