Big Brown's jockey Kent Desormeaux met with racing stewards Wednesday to discuss his controversial ride, and eventual surrender, in the 140th Belmont Stakes.
He also bartered with an audience member for her treasured necklace – her eventual price was a tour round Edinburgh, a bike ride, home-cooked lunch and the promise that he would come round and assemble her flat-pack furniture.

I'm sure there are millions of stock investors who will buttress this view by either jumping on board very late or by riding the market's eventual big losers-whatever they may be-all the way down and then selling.
Anees, last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile champion and Eclipse award winner, finished a credible third for the jockey Jerry Bailey, who gave up the mount on eventual Gotham Stakes winner Red Bullet to ride Anees.
He'd been an early leader at PayPal during its ride to public offering and eventual sale to eBay.
With scarcely a furlong to run, Gentildonna was trapped in a pocket by Christophe Soumillon, riding Cirrus des Aigles, the eventual runner-up.
Despite eventual triumphant sequences of a euphoric boy riding a horse at magic hour, this isn't an average kids' film; the first scene of dialogue involves a conversation about oral gratification, but in a non-lascivious way.
Race leader and eventual winner Alberto Contador, along with many others, rode the stage 16 individual time trial with black armbands.
The safest bet is that on the long road to eventual zero excess growth in health spending, we will ride up and down quite a few more times on the health-spending roller coaster.
