I guess that's why he supposedly didn't come to the track yesterday morning.

Do you really think John Pricci deserves being mistaken for John Piesen?

Tom just mentioned a press conference, but that is all, I can't get immediate confirmation on the issue...

This article is from a couple of weeks ago:
http://www.thoroughbredtimes.com/rac...er-cracks.aspx Did they say what hoof it was in? Just a vibe, but I'm guessing the right front.

He is worth too much and I am sure insurance companies will step in here. He will be retired if it is true.

If true, it's hard to imagine the folks at Three Chimney's would be okay with him running with some issues. Unless its extremely minor... but even then... we're talking about a lot of $.

a genetic backgroud that shows a disposition towards quarter cracks. So we got to get those genes passed on because he is worth too much... Houston we have a market problem.

he missed months of racing due to his feet between his 2 yo debut and his first at three, and i think it was due to his feet that they were keeping him on the turf-that and the fact he could run so well on it. chuck, he ran down behind pretty badly in the preakness-i remember your comment about it being significant that he bled through his bandages the way he did. could that be caused by him having sore feet, and perhaps changing his style of running? i don't know if there's a correlation between the two or not, which is why i'm asking.

Also, what are the risks?? Besides running poorly can he hurt himself bad by running with a quarter??
