Loose Shoe Could Have Hindered Big Brown's Run

Published: June 24, 2008

What happened to Big Brown during the Belmont Stakes remains a mystery. However, Michael Iavarone, the horse's owner, received a picture from a photographer taken during the race. It shows Big Brown with a dislodged shoe on his right hind foot.

The horse was wearing an acrylic patch on his left front hoof to compensate for a painful quarter crack.

"It has to be considered a very strong possibility," Iavarone said. "If the shoe was off, it's like running on a wobbly cleat."
