Default Big Brown's Front Wraps?
Does anyone know why Dutrow front wrapped him at the Kentucky Derby and then raced with them in the preakness? Do you think he could possibly be sore?

Haber is legit though ATeam, come on. he is the hot horse, the whole world wants to see a TC winner.

I can't stand the connections/trainer but I would love to be able to say that I saw a Triple Crown winner live, at the KY Derby....I am rooting my ass off for him...

What? I like Haber, but this has been discussed and rightly dismissed before, and it's yet another pointless Big Brown thread.

Read above. Nothing personal, this is just an unnecessary thread. We all make them.

The horse apparently ran down a bit on both hinds in the Preakness on Saturday. Just for whatever it's worth.

BINGO!!!!!!!!

After all the trivial/peripheral ****, we finally have a winner.

I noticed that as well, yet have heard no mention of it prior to this.

I believe that he "ran down" in the right front.

Perhaps you can expand on this point as finally we are starting to deal with horse racing BTW Mr. Fat Man wouldn't it be nice to speak freely on the internet with folks who respected you, felt you added to their person horse racing experience, and were willing to enlighten you as well on both a horse racing and comedic level?

It's basically the equivalent to a nasty rug burn ...

Sometimes when a horse's hooves hit the ground, the fetlocks can drop so low that they literally scrape the ground. I'm not sure if this is what is happening to Big Brown, but it may explain the wraps.

There are other reasons horses wear front wraps. Of course, I am not saying there are other reasons here in this case. However, I'd look to Chuck Simon to answer the question and talk about this.

He wears wraps up front, he ran down in the hind legs.
