He requires long breaks to allow the feet to heal. If it weren't for his feet, he'd likely have won a bunch more races.

Actually, it's a wive's tale, but some people believe it. The color of a horse's hooves hasn't been shown to have anything to do with soundness. It's the structure of the hoof that causes problems.
