Okay, I admit it. Big Brown just doesn't have all the romance and charisma that makes me all giddy. But, his confirmation and his rocket speed make him a real contender for the Triple Crown. Now THAT makes me giddy! He has convincingly won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. Giddy UP at Belmont! Go Big Brown!
Left hoof healing well
Last week, Kentucky sportscasters were abuzz with concern about an abscyess on Big Brown's left foot. It had been drained, and the heat associated with the infection had diminished. Big Brown has a vertical break in his left hoof, which they expect to repair with acrylic and mesh. It's like a broken fingernail, that goes to the quick. It is painful, but heals quickly and with a little help from the manicurist...well not such a big deal. Apparently, Big Brown is prone to this affliction, and has recovered from it on several other occasions.
Big Brown is "feeling his oats" and put on quite a little show for the folks enjoying Breakfast at Belmont on Sunday. I've seen a couple of different reports, but it seems Big Brown is happy to be in the limelight and ready for the big show.
Casino Drive dragging
Casino Drive, the possible "spoiler" for Big Brown's Triple Crown attempt, has been breezing at Belmont for a few days. His time is lazy, crazy slow. Now, the Japaneese have different ideas about how horses are prepped for races; so it's hard to say whether they are reigning in Casino Drive to save energy or whether the big equine is just that much slower than the lightening quick Big Brown. Or could it be Casino Drive is lulling Big Brown's handlers into a false sense of security? Guess Saturday will tell the tale...er make that "horse tail." (Sorry I couldn't resist the pun!>
