Big Brown may come up four feet short of the Kentucky Derby -- as in his four hooves. Bad feet have stopped many horses through the years.

Scat Daddy being last year's version.

Yea, Kent D. looked very tired after the race and not sure he can handle the Derby distance. After the interview I swear he was limping as he walked away.

He had quarter cracks in his feet...

Scat Daddy would blow the socks off most of these horses in this year's crop.

I agree Pgardn.. I bet against the horse and after he took the first half in 45 and change, I thought he would fold like a cheap tent..... While i haven't decided if I would play him in the derby, I do think it was one of the best preps this year and I can't wait to see how he trains up to the derby.

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned Big Brown's behavior after the race. He was a little aggressive.
