" Did you see how dusty it was in an earlier race. Dust flying all over. That means it's slippery. They need to pour a double dose of water on that track. It also means it's rock hard under the dust and Big Brown has those sensitive feet. " ( quote from an article )
Also heard that BB lost his Left Rear Shoe. On local talk show. Can not
verify. I will say this...with all that happened to this poor horse...I think he
ran pretty damn good. :bang: And he does seem to be Sound. :ThmbUp:

Shoes come off more often than people realize. I pick them up all the time and give them to people who come down to watch the start of races. I often find them along the rail on the backstretch too.
