TWIT would like to wish a speedy recovery to Big Brown, who has a three-quarter inch crack in the inside of his left front hoof. The crack was discovered yesterday, and a hoof specialist stitched up the crack with stainless steel wire. It had healed enough overnight to allow the unbeaten colt to go for a mile and a half jog around the track at Belmont Park this afternoon. When asked if he looked as good as he did before winning the Preakness on May 17, his trainer Rick Dutrow Jr. said "He might look better."
Big Brown will attempt to become the first Triple Crown champion in 30 years, since Affirmed in 1978, in the Belmont Stakes on June 7. TWIT wishes all the best of luck to Big Brown, his jockey, trainer, owners, and all of the other staff that watches over him.
