Photographic evidence grows in consideration for Big Brown's mysterious loss in the Belmont Stakes. He got stepped on by Guadalcanal. Did that cause his shoe to loosen?
Perhaps it's time to go to a stream of conscious report from Big Brown himself:
BIG BROWN: (crashing from the Belmont Stakes gate) "Hey, Kent! Get me over...I don't want the rail! Oh, I'm slipping...my back feet are stuck...there, okay.
"Hey, Guad (Guadalcanal)...Look out...Get over, Guad! Kent! You falling off up there, or what? Guad, move it! Ouch! Get off my feet!"
(Shaking his head left) "Now looky what you did, Guad! My shoe's loose! It's only the first turn, and my shoe is loose! You stepped on it, Guad!"
(Shaking his head right) "Can you help me with this, Kent!? Kent! Oh, this is useless; we can't talk while (shaking his head backward) I'm running!
"I'll have to slow down -- that shoe hurts -- now it's okay...let's move outside, Kent.
"Ouch! It's off again...Geez! Okay...daylight...yeah, we're through...backstretch coming.
"Kent! Let's just get my spot...before this silly shoe slips again...Ouch! There it went...
"Nuts, I'm tired...backstretch...I'm pooped...this shoe! Third...ouch! I'm third...the reins are moving...fourth...Kent! Kent...
"No gas...I'm out...the triple. This shoe! Sorry, Kent...I'm out."
(Trailing off to the right, shaking his head) "Are they booing us? Kent?"
