Reported to have a fever going into the race. Now thats away to ruin a good horse.

The last thing I heard was that he came out of the race fine. The connections said the heat of the day bothered him.

NOT being very good also might've played a role. Watching him get zapped at CRC in December, sort of clued me in that this dude is not exactly top tier.

Default Feets Don't Fail Me Now!

Paraphrasing Little Feat's 1974 album title, "Feats Don't Fail Me Now", Big Brown's feet may have more impact on his ability to make Kentucky Derby starting gate than any other factor. He sure liked his shoes yesterday!
