Big Brown is hobbling home after running last in today’s Belmont Stakes and losing his bid to win the Triple Crown, the AP reports. A strong favorite after rival Casino Drive was scratched, Big Brown ran with an injured hoof. "I had no horse," Big Brown's jockey said. Winner Da' Tara overcame 38-1 odds, marking the third time this decade a horse has won the first two races only to lose at Belmont. (More Big Brown stories.)
