Big Brown Finishes Last at Belmont Stakes
On national television trainer Rick Dutrow guaranteed a win by Big Brown today at Belmont Park but that didn't happen. Not only did the favorite not win, but he finished the race in dead last. And when asked what happened out there today, jockey Kent Desmoreaux had "no idea".
"He was keen to go on early," Desmoreaux said. "He stumbled a bit but I have no idea what happened...I had no horse."
The 38/1 longshot, Da' Tara, took the lead early and held on to win the 2008 Belmont Stakes. Nick Zito is one happy trainer.
In what will likely go down as one of the hugest upsets in the history of horse racing, the 2008 Belmont Stakes was denied a Triple Crown.
