Do you mean a NEW quarter crack? If not, he has had these since January at least. If so, they should be able to patch it in time. I imagine by the time the race goes off he won't even know he has feet let alone a quarter crack.

No offense bdw, but how about not posting bad news until you have at least 2 very good sources and not just someone. This just upsets everyone and perhaps unnecessarily.

when you tell someone no offense, you are being very offensive.

I'm not a damn news reporter. I didn't say it was TRUE. i said I HEARD.

How can I come off TELLING YOU A STORY when i'm ASKING IS IT TRUE!


for crying out loud, grown ass men I'm sitting here talking to nit picking like women.

To Roguelet:

It really gets old and tiresome to have this snot-nosed kid treat people like this. Al least a minimum of politeness and consideration should be required to allow some adult, civilized interaction.

Gerogez, he was asking if it was true. He wasn't trying to spread a rumor, just asking around if it was something that was made public yet..

I think we can do without the sexist commentary, thank you. I can understand the aggravation as all I saw in your original post was an innocent request for conformation/denial of something you'd heard, but there's no need to descend to the level of cheap insults in rebuttal.

Georgerz,


No offense but there are posters on here that treat other posters like shit and are still on this forum. Dont single out BDW. He asked if anyone heard BB had a quarter crack? Thats hardly a rumor.

Big Brown battling quarter crack
By DAVID GRENING

Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Big Brown developed a quarter crack in his left front foot that will force him to miss several days of training, but his connections are still confident he will make the Belmont Stakes June 7, when he will attempt to become racing's 12th Triple Crown winner.

Trainer Rick Dutrow noticed something amiss Friday afternoon and the horse did not train Saturday or Sunday. Dutrow called noted hoof specialist Ian McKinlay, who had previously worked on Big Brown's troubled feet. McKinlay said the quarter crack is not related to previous wall separations Big Brown suffered on both front feet earlier in career.

“Unless I make some bonehead move, this will be a walk in the park,” McKinlay said.

McKinlay said he hoped Big Brown could return to the track by Thursday.

Dutrow said he'd feel good if he could get Big Brown a work by Tuesday of Belmont week.

Seconding Mahubah here - I didn't think the original post was offensive, but the follow-up one certainly is.
