The poor thing is in bad need of a decent trim. <BR/><BR/>I'd love to see some decent pictures of Big Brown's feet.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02825526017096009319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-15084512743116506252008-04-01T15:05:00.000-04:002008-04-01T15:05:00.000-04:00I linked to this site the other day for a good vis...I linked to <A HREF="http://www.equipodiatry.com/qtrcrka.htm" REL="nofollow">this site</A> the other day for a good visual on quarter cracks. I know some horses (granted, mostly show horses) who have performed well with them and others for whom it was career-ending. <BR/><BR/>Can you remember exactly what was wrong with Unbridled's Song's feet? I just recall they were 'bad' (and that he apparently passes that on often).Superfectahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13160193760814449962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-2296896823980770892008-04-01T14:59:00.000-04:002008-04-01T14:59:00.000-04:00I'm disappointed with the injury to GEORGIE BOY.

He was a main cog in my Road to the Roses Stable and, I imagine, one of the reasons I'm ranked 14th among paid players and 28th overall.<BR/><BR/>Of course, it made my decision this weekend a little easier since I had eight probables among the three scoring races prior to GEORGIE BOY's defection.Harlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515575955224982258noreply@blogger.com
