![]() He didn't throw the shoe -- it remained on his foot and was unhinged throughout the race with what looks like a nail going into his foot with each stride.
![]() It would be like trying to run a race with a pebble in your shoe causing you discomfort. Big Brown was not seriously hurt -- he came right back and won the Haskell. |

CJ Cherokee finished 3rd at 50-1 in a 9 horse field. Hearts Don't Lie (40-1) just got a nice ground saving trip by Wilfredo Arroyo. Finished 5th, but was maybe only 4 lengths off the winner. Doug, I think like you said, the hardest part has to be doing this 24 hours in advance, pre-scratches. |

Yeah -- CJ Cherokee may have finished 3rd -- but she was beaten 15 lengths and never tried to win ... just grinded past the quitters. Like you said, half of the field scratched at Arlington. You're left with 5 horses and one of the bums finishes 2nd in what became a real weak race. One of the horses at Monmouth went off at 15/1 odds and got buried. This is trickier to do than people think. Rock Hard Ten told me he was absolutely sure he could beat 100 straight morning line favorites -- he quit after just three -- two of them won and the other finished 2nd. 281 down, only 719 more to go. |

![]() Today's bums lost another $19,378 to bring the grand total up to $315,253. Out of the 281 that have run so far, really only one (the one that ran 2nd at Saratoga a week or so ago) has been any kind of real threat to win.

![]() It always strikes me as odd that stories like this about him can be so completely unsurprising....and yet are somehow still funny every time.
