Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Big Brown’s racing career is over after injuring his right front foot during a workout at Aqueduct on Monday.

Trainer Rick Dutrow said the 3-year-old colt, who was preparing for the Breeders’ Cup Classic on Oct. 25, appeared to kick himself while working on the turf course at Aqueduct with stablemate Kip Deville. Big Brown was able to complete the six-furlong work when Dutrow noticed blood coming out of the foot.

Though the extent of the injury is unknown, Michael Iavarone of IEAH Stables, co-owners of Big Brown, said the horse who captivated the racing world during his Triple Crown bid will not race again.

“It’s in the best interest of the horse to let him recover and move on to his breeding career,” Iavarone said.

Too bad, I won some dough with this horse.

Big Brown, had a great career and won seven times in eight starts including dominant runs in the Derby and the Preakness.

This means the anticipated showdown with Curlin at the BC Classic will not happen.
