BB had loose shoe
 

Kent D said that he slipped slightly coming out of the gate... here's maybe why.

Why didn't this article include the picture?

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water! :zz:

The guy who owed Keeneland half a million for not paying for horses wants to turn the game around. Comedy

Loose shoe geez enough already who cares

I have a loose tooth

Does this new piece of key evidence mean that he will run in the Travers?

He is NEVER running again except in some paddock at 3 Chimneys

Not that alot of what they say isnt bs but the thought that it will be "cooler' at Monmouth for the Haskell is strange. I have been at Monmouth for the haskell several times in the last few years and i cant remember one where it wasnt scorching.

are you going to be ok ?

questionable

I guess Monmouth could have some ocean breeze but as you say it can be just a fn hot in Long Branch.. The pier in Long Branch is nice for after the races ,and maybe they want to jump off it after he gets vanned off?

I live about 20 minutes from Monmouth and it gets F'N hot there. That ocean breeze is vastley overrated. Maybe they just want to run on a very speed biased track not called the graveyard of favorites. But Chuck is right, that tempertaure talk is just more lip service. Those ego-maniacs probably think that they are punishing NYRA because the track at Belmont was not up to BB's liking.
Come on Freddy, vanned off. That's a little harsh!

That explains alot....

You have access to Bute.

I dont want to weaken my genes in case I decide to breed

Only if that bute moves you up markedly and you'd otherwise be a victim of chronic tooth pain.

His shoe problem didn't have anything to do with him coming up empty. Blame the heat or the missed training, but a loose shoe doesn't account for the empty tank. Horses win races without shoes all the time. The excuses are getting old. Maybe he just wasn't good enough to win a TC. All he needed was a 100 beyer and he couldn't even do that.

I meant Iavarone getting vanned off not the horse sorry... I live in Colts Neck pretty close the Monmouth as well

You are very fiesty today

Speaking of Monmouth -- that can be one tricky track.

Getting tired of IEAH and their snake oil salesman. Their comments and the fact that the media picks up on them is insulting to anyone with a brain.

It is like Michael Dickinson telling us every time a horse breaks down it is because the track was Tapeta. Give me a break.

What is really annoying is the media gives these snake oil salesman repeated free media to hype what they are selling.

These shoes never get loose :D

LMAO

Maybe they should check the horse for arsenic....and then give Dutrow a massive dose of it.....:D

I hear ya but it is the way the "media" operates. We are just noticing it more because we understand the issues and can see the holes in the stories and the occasional complete untruth. I'm sure that other industries and business deal with the same crap.

I think this was a smart move by IEAH simply because it buys them some free, good press. Considering that they run in NY where Lasix is the only race day med used it sure is generous of them to give up all those other meds that they cant use anyway. Until they specifically name what drugs that they will be giving up and tsting for the whole thing is a joke yet the media will portray it as a positive and unknowing (or stupid) people will commend them and say that "you have to start somewhere" or " it is a first step" when it actually is simply lipservice.

If Dutrow has survived what he has put in himself so far I think arsenic wouldnt even scratch the surface

Mr. Cannon would this
 

not hurt a bit if it got punched back in during the race?
ANd is this a common place for a loose shoe?
I thought Brown had a problems with clipping his backs
with the front. I realize there are a lot of other ways this
could have happened... but it this a common place?

Never mind. Just read about it.

I dont know. Though I am fat I am not a horse.

Well....
Im glad you got that off your chest.

Anytime you need to let loose with any
more self-deprecating moments, I am here for
ya man. PM me if its too much for ya.

It's somewhat interesting that Iavarone was "looking" for reasons the horse didn't do what everyone expected -- now the shoe -- and Dutrow keeps saying "no" or "nothing wrong".

I like the last one where Dutrow said they (owner) can keep saying whatever they want, but I am going to keep saying there was nothing wrong with this horse -- or something along those lines.

Eric

maybe he'll have an equine version of the zapruder film soon. surely da tara didn't act alone.


" desormeaux pulls him back and to the left...back and to the left...back..."

LOL. Like the Seinfeld episode . . . Now that is one magic loogie . . . LOL.


Eric

Add it to the list.
Although you might pull it out and summon the tooth fairy.
It'll be worth more than any loosing BB tix.

that picture says to me that it probably did have a negative effect on his race that day. it could have been 100% responsible since none of us knows what running with a loose horse shoe feels like....but it sure doesn't look comfortable.

i'll say the loose shoe was 35% responsible for his loss that day.

i would say it was 45 % jockey error for restraining him the first 1/4 mile.

and i think it was 20% "bounce"

how do you come up with those figures? based on what? other horses have thrown shoes, had loose shoes, and won or hit the board. i think it was devils bag who pulled two loose in one race and still won.

i base that on...

none of us knows what running with a loose horse shoe feels like

and we never will.

well, that's true... i was just wondering what your %'s were based on-i'd say it was 100% not his day, rather than trying to break down what % was possibly based on what.
