Big Brown says leave me alone

In a time when Baseball has been excoriated for being a steroid haven and we have Barry Bonds on trial and Roger Clemens all but destroyed reputation wise because of that so called Mitchell Report, now we have the story of Big Brown the horse who was a steroid winner who went bust. It was known by Friday, that Big Brown had a quarter crack in his left front hoof that was patched yet clearly that was the first sign that things were not going to be right. Perhaps tired of all of the constant pushing and depleted of the roids that kept it going this was Big Brown’s way of saying leave me alone. It wasn’t just Big Brown losing but coming in dead last no other horse going for the triple crown had ever done that, I think a lesson should be learned here that just because you find back door ways to getting what you want doesn’t mean it’s going to keep going that way, I realize that it’s not completely illegal to use in horse racing but why should one sport go through a serious public humiliation as baseball has and the steroid use done in horse racing get swept under to the point that nobody cared as long as Big Brown won, sure baseball behaved in the same way for many years but the loud cries of the steroid scandals have ran much of it out of baseball shouldn’t horse racing have those same loud cries, perhaps then a tired exhausted and depleted horse like Big Brown won’t completely break down in it’s own way of just wanting to be left alone.
