Default Big Brown favoring blister on foot

Seems Big Brown came out of his blistering workout with a blister. No pun intended!

Actually, it says he got the blister in the Florida Derby, and he was wearing front wraps on Thursday to protect it. Worth noting nonetheless.

Wilkin totally missed the point of Dutrow's last few weeks with Big Brown's rundown issue and completely failed to accurately explain what happened initially and subsequently. And the headline is irresponsible.

I totally argree 150000% I found the article a little hard to follow and had to go back and read again to realize that there really is no blister. Horrible headline.

That article has the look of a writer trying to get 4-1 on BB.
