Problem feet continue to hinder Big Brown
In the past Big Brown has suffered from quarter cracks in both of his front feet, which explains why he only started three times prior to the Triple Crown series.
Everything seemed fine following his effortless Kentucky Derby triumph, but he ran down from behind in the Preakness, and now he has developed another quarter crack in his left front foot.
He will likely miss several days of training due to his newfound quarter crack, and what this means in regards to his Triple Crown chances remains to be seen.

This is a shocker.
It will be a sad day if Big Brown is denied his Triple Crown because his hoof problems.
It will not only will be another body blow to the sport, but what will it mean to his future stud actvities and the chance that he might pass this tendancy on to any offspring at a time whne the whole breeding scene is under the microscope?
