I saw that on the news last night & it showed where Big Brown clipped his heels with another horse just out the gates as Big Brown was swerving when he first broke out. They showed a still pic of BB running & the shoe was sicking out about half way & looked like it was half off. It looked nearly ripped half off! They said it would have interfered with his rhythm & way of going ,as was seen before the jockey pulled him up. He looked uneven in his way of going.

Big Brown

"Big Brown's dislodged shoe, shown about 200 yards into the Belmont, may have "been like trying to run with a wobbly cleat."
