                    NEW YORK &#8212; When Big Brown turned for home, something wasn&#8217;t right. 
Jockey Kent Desormeaux knew the big bay colt was finished. Trainer Rick Dutrow Jr., who guaranteed racing&#8217;s first Triple Crown in 30 years, knew it then, too. 
Big Brown straggled home last Saturday, losing the Belmont Stakes to 38-1 long shot Da&#8217; Tara. Eased up in the homestretch, he was so far behind at the end that his margin of defeat wasn&#8217;t even charted.

                    BALTIMORE &#8212; Big Brown charged to the lead turning for home and then cruised down the stretch to win the Preakness on Saturday, still perfect and squarely pointed toward thoroughbred racing&#8217;s first Triple Crown in 30 years. 
&#8220;We should have enough horse to get the job done,&#8221; said trainer Rick Dutrow Jr., who had predicted his bay colt would win the first two legs.

          <title>COLUMN: No cards for Eight Belles</title>
          <link>http://www.newsvirginian.com/wnv/sports/equestrian/article/column_no_cards_for_eight_belles/21345/</link>
          <description><![CDATA[
                    There won&#8217;t be a dramatic fight for life this time around. No national day of mourning for a brave horse who wouldn&#8217;t give up. 
Schoolchildren won&#8217;t be sending cards. 
The people who cried for Eight Belles got it out of the way at the track. They had no choice, because the business of racing goes on.

          <description><![CDATA[
                    LOUISVILLE, Ky. &#8212; Big Brown backed up his trainer&#8217;s boasts with an explosive finishing kick and won the Kentucky Derby on Saturday &#8212; a day marred by the fatal breakdown of the filly Eight Belles. 
The cheers for the winner&#8217;s decisive victory were cut short when Eight Belles, the runner-up, was euthanized on the track minutes after the race when she collapsed with two broken front ankles.
