So many people may not be interested in sports involving horses except for the gamblers, horse lovers, and fellow equesterians. However, different types of sports involving horses are very important and can be very exciting and even sad.
Big Brown ( a horse that won the 134th Kentucky Derby this past May and the Preakness) who would have made history had he won the Bellemont will not get another chance, as his raceing days are over.
Big Brown a 3-year-old has been retired after and injury that he sustained during a workout. The Breeders' cup Classic in Santa Anita will be short a horse. Brown ripped off a 3-inch chunk of flesh onthe inside of his back of the right front foot along with part of the hoof. The injury will take at least two months to heal.
Some people may ask so what, who cares, it's just an injury, but to a horse it is a career ending one and sometimes a life ending one. Horses can only operate with all four legs and when any horse receives an injury involving its' leg or foot, serious action needs to take place.
Brown has a reported $50-million deal to stand at Stud at Three Chimney's Farm. The injury that Big Brown sustained is not hereditary and will not stop him from being breed and carringon a legendary name, worth millions to his offspring.
