Trainer Steve Miyadi here in northern California has many of his horse race without the hind shoes and I have been told as well that he does it because it's supposed to help horses on the Tepeta - I don't know that it helps much and he's the ONLY trainer here doing that.
Before asking for reasons why ir was being done, I thought he was doing it to save money by not paying to have shoes put on his horses
