and if big brown loses, he'll still retire-as no one would want to risk a second loss, to curlin or anyone else. have to protect that potential 100k stud fee. i'll be absolutely shocked and amazed if that horse runs again after his race in three weeks. he'll either go out 5-1, or 6-0, but go out he will.
as for the public, unless they can afford a share in big brown, ieah and three chimneys won't care what they think.

I'd say he sticks around for the Travers and or Haskel, as Point Given did...and maybe <cough> retire due to injury.
And yeah maybe he can become just as ordinary a sire as Point Given became as well.
