Big Brown's Big Loss
I'm not much into horse racing, but I've been seeing the hype lately over Big Brown. He was favored to win but bombed completely, coming in dead last. In fact, he apparently became the first horse seeking the Triple Crown to finish last in 140 years of running the 1 1/2-mile Belmont. All that aside--really, it's neither here nor there to me--my favorite quote from an article I saw, spoken by Big Brown's trainer: "I feel like a big loser right now and I don't know why."
Um...because your horse just lost?

I think that the whole Triple Crown thing gets way to much media hype. Horses, like people, have good days and bad days. The race could be rerun tomorrow and Big Brown could win by 5 lengths or might finish last again.
