losing shoes

[Scav]

While we are talking about shoes, I was talking with Julio Felix the other day and he was telling me that horses have started dancing more on the polytrack up here because it has been so hot, and their shoes have absorbed the heat and it stings the living hell out of them.

When it was 95 degrees here, he said it felt like 115-120 out there, said it is absolutely noticable when you walk out of the paddock and take a step on the track, like walking into a sauna

well,, i never thought of that, but it makes perfect sense. has to be like walking on hot sand...another issue not taken into consideration i guess.

I lost my shoes in the Belmont Stakes once. Byk knows the story but I should probably keep it hidden.

Two Zito horses lost shoes in the Derby in the same year.

It was the Smarty Jones year when the track was a wet mess.

I believe The Cliff's Edge lost one and Birdstone lost two .. or maybe it was Birdstone lost one and TCE lost two ... but, either way, one of them lost one and the other lost two shoes.

Does that guy still call in to Byk's show once a week and complain about how the type's of shoes horses are wearing is ruining the sport?
