Do we know what we're looking at?

I look at the photos of Big Brown's feet that have been posted on Fran Jurga's site and shake my head. Am I the only one that sees that this horse is a PRIME candidate to founder? Just look at his hairlines in the AP shots and if they don't scare you, nothing will. This horse has been trying to tell someone, ANYONE that he's in trouble. He has a history of blowing out quarters. Thus the fine work on his quarters to keep him running with the new shoes. Question, how long do you really think he will hold together before the rest of the foot (feet?) let loose. Man, we got to stop looking with tunnel vision at specific areas of these hoof capsules and look at the whole picture.
