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.
