Default Big Brown's Front Wraps?
Does anyone know why Dutrow front wrapped him at the Kentucky Derby and then raced with them in the preakness? Do you think he could possibly be sore?

Haber is legit though ATeam, come on. he is the hot horse, the whole world wants to see a TC winner.

I can't stand the connections/trainer but I would love to be able to say that I saw a Triple Crown winner live, at the KY Derby....I am rooting my ass off for him...

What? I like Haber, but this has been discussed and rightly dismissed before, and it's yet another pointless Big Brown thread.

Read above. Nothing personal, this is just an unnecessary thread. We all make them.

Thoughts?

There you go, article and an excerpt....

http://timesunion.com/AspStories/sto...date=5/16/2008

Dutrow caused a bit of a stir when he announced Big Brown would wear the bandages in the Kentucky Derby. He said he uses them to keep the horse from clipping himself on his right heel and causing what he says is a burn, or a blister.
"We should have used them in the Florida Derby," Dutrow said. "It's not a big deal."

The horse apparently ran down a bit on both hinds in the Preakness on Saturday. Just for whatever it's worth.

BINGO!!!!!!!!

After all the trivial/peripheral ****, we finally have a winner.

I noticed that as well, yet have heard no mention of it prior to this.

I believe that he "ran down" in the right front.
