Does this look healthy to you?

Looks normal for a hoof with a repaired quarter crack, Halo. He\'s got feet that need to be held together (and I\'m surprised nobody has yet talked about if this type of farrier skill is \"performance enhancing\", and should horses be allowed to race with this help, or should it be banned? )
I wouldn\'t read anything into the talk about when to put the patch on (Friday vs. Saturday). As long as the on-track observers say he\'s going well, I wouldn\'t worry about it.
Well,I wasn\'t gonna mention it, but don\'t you think a shoe with a \'cushion\' built into it MIGHT be worth a few inches in real tight photo?
Wonder if they use the stuff they make SuperBalls out of in there.
Nothing too good for the man.
