In the Nick Zito barn, the controversy is also discussed: Fierce Wind: (fiercely) "Hey, kid! Da'! You didn't do nothing!" Da' Tara: (winner of the Belmont Stakes) "Wh-What? Sir?" Fierce Wind: (laughing) "Yeah, that's right! Didn't you hear? Big Brown had a loose shoe in the Belmont." Cool Coal Man: "Yeah, I read that." Anak Nakal: "Oh, dear." War Pass: "What are you talking about, Windy?" Fierce Wind: (haughtily "Hey, Your Highness --" War Pass: "Knock that off! What's this about a loose shoe?" Fierce Wind: "Okay. Yeah. Hey, don't you watch ESPN? It's all over the networks and the media!" War Pass: "What?! Did you see it, Nakie?" Anak Nakal: "No, Your Highness." War Pass: "Stop it!" Fierce Wind: "Brown had a loose shoe, Pass." Stevil: "Yep. From the beginning of the race, the photo says." Da' Tara: (eyes bugging) "Darn!" War Pass: "It's okay, kid. You still won the race. It's history." Fierce Wind: "Ongoing history." War Pass: "Are you certain of this, Windy?" Fierce Wind: "Were you listening? There's a photo. The loose shoe is plain as day." Stevil: "Now no one knows if Big Brown could have won if that shoe hadn't come loose." Da' Tara: (hanging his head) "Does this mean my Belmont win will have an asterisk beside it in the record books?"
