From ESPN:
| Quote: |
When Big Brown turned for home, something wasn't right.
Jockey Kent Desormeaux knew the big bay colt was finished. Trainer Rick Dutrow Jr., who guaranteed racing's first Triple Crown in 30 years, knew it, too.
Big Brown straggled home last Saturday, losing the Belmont Stakes to 38-1 long shot Da' Tara, who led wire-to-wire. Eased up in the homestretch, the 1-4 favorite was so far behind at the end that his margin of defeat wasn't even charted. |

I am not surprised by this. I don't think anything is wrong with the horse. The triple crown is just too hard to win now.
