 Can You Hear Me Now?
  
Location: When you hit the middle of nowhere .. Keep driving | Has anyone seen a pic of his front end head on? I keep thinking his legs are not straight or he toes out a lot... but haven't really seen a shot of his front without wraps. The ones without the wraps I have seen aren't straight on. I'm hoping I'm seeing things ... |

Location: CA | His right front is so crooked it tore his mommas uterus on the way out. She spent quite awhile in the hospital on Iv's. you can see it quite well, even in some of his racing pics. |

| Doesn't look super crooked to me. Even with the wraps.

What a cutie! Now there it looks like his left front is crooked.. Not his right as stated above. Still doesn't look too horrible - I've seen much worse. |

Location: MS | I noticed after the Preakness, I think, when they are walking beside him interviewing Victor Espinoza, his back right leg twists when he goes to push off of it. There are probably lots of horses that do the same thing but it was just really noticeable and looked funny. But I agree it doesn't really matter - he can run! I hope he pulls it off and wins the Triple Crown. |

I love the story behind him and am with everyone on the Crown band wagon. I hadn't seen much besides him running and the few pictures posted on Facebook by Bloodhorse.
Zipping my Flame suit: I am scared if he is still a stud (and I believe I read he still is) and wins the crown how many will breed to him though   . I think with all the attention he's getting people are going to breed to him too. |

He's a gelding.
Thanks for clarifying. I read on Facebook someone posted 3 year old stallion... went to Equibase and they still had colt; I'd always thought they switched it to gelding. My bad.
As I said I hadn't looked into him too much but have been hopeful for a triple crown winner. |

I have seen lots of nice barrel horses do that twist the back leg thing.  |
