    "Big Brown tore off a chunk of the inside quarter of his right front foot
    while working six furlongs on Monday morning."

    Sad news this as he doesn't get his chance to go for the Classic.Sad as well as I was looking forward to seeing Curlin beating him.The Classic should still be a good race though as the Euros may have a better chance on the Pro-Ride surface than the traditional dirt.However if Curlin is at his best he will be difficult to beat.

    Hi Folks!

    Dell Yount, here... reporting live from sunny Southern California. :)
    I went out to see the Richest Race Horse in North America
    do a bit of schooling, in preparation for next weekend's Breeders' Cup Classic.
    It really is too bad that Big Brown is injured and out of competition. Wouldabeenagoodrace!

    Unfortunately, this is as close to the Breeders' Cup as Big Brown is ever going to get...

    I took a few photos to share with the group.
    Hope you enjoy. :) ...and now, Ladies & Gentlemen:
    Heading for the paddock for a bit of schooling...

    I wore my BIG BROWN shirt to the race track on Thursday,
    to see CURLIN school in the paddock @ Santa Anita Park...
    A gentleman from the Curlin camp said to me as he passed by:
    "You're wearing the Big Brown shirt. You heard the news, right?"
    Then he gave a look and shook his head as if to say, "Yeah. We'da kicked his..."

    It really WOULD have been a great "Match-Up!" in this year's BC Classic.

    He's a handful... a big strapping fellow who exudes confidence and class.

    He gave me quite a frightening look as he boldly strode by,
    as if to say: "...a Big Brown shirt!?! What the...!!!???!!!"

    Curlin is a beast of a horse and will be tough to beat next Saturday.
