Before that he's supposed to have his comeback race at Hoppegarten racetrack near Berlin, Germany on May 9th. We'll have to see if he really starts that day, but at least he's officially pre-entered -> http://www.galopp-sport.de/dvrWebApp...?RENNR=1248745

BTW ... For those interested to have a closer look at how his hooves look these days, check out those pictures taken a month ago -> http://www.rennreiter.de/news-bilder...9_overdose.php It might be especially interesting for those who were always making fun of Big Brown's glued feet.

Its not uncommon with the hoof problems he has. I saw a horse with a much worse condition in Australia called Bomber Bill. Amazingly he still was great enough to win three individual Group 1 races. His feet were also subject to a textbook in Victoria by a farrier who taught apprentices.
The hooves on the animal were so darn flat.

We had a horse where I worked with a similar condition, who's hooves were practically made of equilox.

He will not race this sunday.

this sounds a lot like what has happened with his other attempted comeback..hopefully he really does just need more time to be ready
