This wasn't a standard post-race test - this was a test done specifically for the various steroids because the trainer was under fire from various corners saying the filly broke her ankles because she was hoppped up on steroids.

Is there any talk of adding an Astrick to Big Brown's name if he wins the Tripple Crown?

The only asterisk that should possibly be added would be for a weak field, but we'll have to see how the rest of the horses perform throughout their careers before we can declare whether Big Brown was a great horse or merely a good horse who happened to come along in a weak year.
And as I stated before, these animals aren't getting injected and then spending all day at the gym to build muscle. They're being injected and then .... standing around in their stall except for about 20 minutes each day where they go out and jog around the track. Steroids in horses are used to aid recovery, and since they're not illegal, anyone can use them and thus the playing field is still level.
