Big Brown missed three days of training last week after the quarter crack was discovered. McKinlay inserted steel sutures to pull the crack together a week ago, allowing Big Brown to resume training.

LAST PLACE. 38 TO 1 WON!

“LAST PLACE. 38 TO 1 WON!”

$2220.00 double...woo hoo.

“Don’t know exactly what it is, but these horses get quarter cracks, they don’t win.
Trainers say it’s OK, vets say it’s OK, owners say it’s OK...horses don’t win with quarter cracks.
Maybe this horse is good enough against a weak field, could happen...I’m not going to take 2/5 to see it. I’ll go two-fisted against him.
Shame, because I think the horse is special.”

My comment from earlier. Don’t mean to brag about this. Just something to repeat and learn from. Horses don’t win with quartercracks.
