Somewhere on down the list of sites about Big Brown Shoe there is one that 
leads off with the words "Guadalcanal steps on"-------- It was one of the 
leading on the list now it's down aways.

It has 11 pictures that are really interesting.  To me it looks possible the 
shoe may have been putting pressure under the wall or even frog at some 
point.  While there would likely not be any visible injury doesn't mean it 
didn't hurt.  An older, more seasoned horse might have "run through the 
temporary pain" and unbalanced stride, but he's a baby yet.   The way the 
horse was squirreling around as Kent D pulled him, that shoe could have been 
anywhere, they are pretty light, a powerful horse could rip them around.

As to the trainer, it is tough to be shoved into the limelight all at once. 
How many of us could do it better under pressure?

We can all second guess anything,  but it's kinda fun speculating.
See how the next races go.
