you're the only one to respond so far that you were skeptical beforehand when you saw the front wraps---my issue is with those who only speak up AFTER, when we should have all 'KNOWN IT ALL ALONG'. easy to say after the fact.
also, like i said above, i've seen horses run with front wraps for the first time and come back to get the trophy and check.

Zieg don't you know that the owner and trainer who have kicked up all teh cash to buy and race a horse like Leroi should always consider some guy betting 5 bucks at an OTB before racing a horse who gets 2nd place and earns a ton of cash and secures his eclipse award by showing such gameness and talent despite everyone having the full knowledge before the race that the horse has a foot that needs a bar shoe?
This is insanity. It was fully disclosed and Frankel did a masterful job getting the horse to the race and running 2nd with it. The horse was not adversely affected, and gave a very good performance.
