Was this the reason?
I haven’t got the slighest idea myself as I’m just speculating, but is there any concrete evidence to suggest that is definitely a picture of Big Brown (apologies if there is something obvious I’m missing).
The reason I ask is because that is now the third picture I’ve seen of Big Brown’s feet, all of which are different. ATR showed one last week that had Big Brown’s shoe completely cracked, there was a pic that I came across by accident that showed a cut in the horse’s leg, and now this photo.
One pic could have been genuine, but that means two aren’t, and if two aren’t then there is a possibility that all three aren’t genuine.
Perhaps they are just trying to find an excuse that isn’t there other than the horse ran below form. The opinion that he ran way below form is surely exaggerated by the fact that the horse was effectively pulled up around the top bend when still in the first three (albeit going nowhere).

he was going backwards fast when he was at the top of the straight, could be looking for excuses

Or his shoe!
Horses can run very badly if they lose a shoe and a damn sight worse if it doesn’t come off. If displaced the nails can come out and be pushed back in again bent and not go in exactly the same way it cam eout OUCH!!!!!
Apparantly his loss cost the owners over $50M in stud fees:cry:
I doubt if there was anyything untoward as it would be too easy to spot in an examinagion
The conspiracy theory mob who constantly come up with garbage to get themselves noticed will be out to convince us that Lee Harvey Oswald shot it off
I watche the video of the Belmont courtesy of SportingLife site and he is shown holding up his near hind after the race. As horses have large amounts of adrenalin runnng through their systems during the race, I assumed that for him to have flet enough to hold a leg up then he was pretty sore. Maybe they haven’t got round to telling anyone yet? If he’d pulled a shoe off an dthe horse was immediately sore why not admit it straight away?
