Was the Belmont stakes race fixed?
If Big Brown had won the Belmont stakes and thus the triple crown, his value as a stallion would have gone up by at least $50 Million. So I don’t think it was fixed. No one is paying the trainer and the jockey $50 Million to fix the race. It just wasn’t Big Brown’s day. All his competitors have had an easier schedule. Bug Brown has a much tougher back to back to back races in 5 weeks. It just wasn’t Big Brown’s day. He’ll come back to fight another day.
