What Happen To All The Scat Daddy Backers ???

[2Hot4TV]

To ask a horse to perform at the top level with foot problems is against the %. You don't keep changing shoes unless you have a problem.

I just returned from a press briefing with Todd Pletcher. There's a lot of talk floating around the Media Center here at Churchill Downs about the use of bar shoes on Scat Daddy.

I asked Pletcher this question: "Could you clarifiy the usage of bar shoes on Scat Daddy in training versus racing; are there hoof issues; and what type of shoes will he wear on Saturday?"

Pletcher said that Scat Daddy will be wearing traditional Queen's Plates on the front and quarter-inch bends on the back on Saturday; that he's trained in bar shoes since last summer but has raced wearing traditional shoes.

Pletcher said that his blacksmith recommended using bar shoes for training purposes because the horse has prominent bars in his feet. The "bars" of the foot are made of very hard horn material. The wall, bars and frog are the weight-bearing structures of the foot.

Bar shoes are only used to hold a bad hoof together. I'm not telling you not to be him, But based on % of horses that use bar shoes and winning I will bet else where.

Oh, Ok. Thanks for clearing that up

The public has hammered him down, I think way below his worth....probably responding to the "cool name" reason for selecting a horse.

As a horse owner,I wont debate that with him.He is pretty sure of himself on that.I guess I learned something differant today.Not to talk to these type of people.

The Scat Daddy backers appear to be the teeming millions. Where have they gone? Where did they come from? I like the horse but I never expected 6-1 at any time.
