Looking at him at Barretts and he has a deformed severly front foot. Does anyone know what happened and are feet a problem with his foals?

Hmmm...

From several years ago: http://gamblingmagazine.com/articles/48/48-351.htm

Dixie Dot Com appears headed for retirement. In the Santa Anita Handicap two weeks ago, the popular Northern California horse broke a bone in his left front leg for the third time.

Trained by Bill Morey Jr., the 5-year-old horse has come back twice from hairline fractures of the cannon bone. In each of his comebacks, he won major stakes at Santa Anita: the San Fernando Stakes in 1999 and, exactly one year later, the San Pasqual in January. Morey will give the horse some rest to let the fracture heal before making a final decision.

"The Blood-Horse" confirms that report.
