HA!

Big Brown was "injured" at Aqueduct this morning. He's out of the Breeder's Cup. Sounds like a ruse to avoid (several) clearly superior horses to me.

EDIT:

He's not just missing a race, he's gone. What would possess anyone to breed those feet I can't imagine. Better find hearty genes on the mare's side if they're going to. Also, Zarkava is retiring to breed. At least she's sound.

FURTHER UNRELATED EDIT: Casino Drive had a good (allowance) race, anyone remember him from the Derby trail? He's the horse that hype can't forget. Could he be a dark horse (figuratively, of course) for the Classic? That race he won, it was only his 3rd CAREER race. I just don't see it but he has great siblings, his dame has threw the 2006 and '07 Belmont winners. He also seems to like the never sufficiently cursed polytrack.
