I would like to think that it wasn't, but I don't know this to be a fact. I do know that the horses and those associated with smaller purses have a "feeling" when there horse will win and when he won't run as well even when it looks good on paper.

there are horse races that are fixed no doubt people involved have been caught but was the belmont fixed thats what this thread was askin....NO to benefit who big brown??? the connects?? yea like they didnt want the triple crown bonus, glamour and even more money than they can make from winnin it...so who would be the one to pay off a fix a1a asks how many hundreds of millions made by houses----the exact same if big brown finished last or first by 30 lengths....horse racin results are paid out based on money in the entire pool "the house" could care less who wins they only get a percent of how much is bet not what its bet on in racin

Didn't someone here run a poll on whether or not Big Brown would beat Secretariat's record of a 31 length victory? Gotta love horseracing.

The horse racing industry wanted a triple crown winner. For that matter almost everyone did. If a fix was on, BB would have won for sure. The track takes a 20% cut on all wagers and the rest is paid out no matter who wins so the fact a 38-1 shot won made no difference to the track.
