Sad news for racing fans, but Big Brown is being retired as a result of a foot injury sustained in a 6 furlong workout. Career earnings record holder, Curlin, will have to challenge lesser horses when he goes for the 1 1/4 mile Classic later this month. This race was setting up to be one of the great showdowns of the last twenty years. Instead, it stands as a reminder of the sad state of the sport, where injuries are becoming more popular than the races.
