NOT a good sign at all. Bar shoes and for that measure bar shoes on a forgiving surface like polytrack= uh oh......BAD SIGN

if you were considering playing him, do you still? a warning bell in my mind. i was never high on the horse, certainly see no positives here.

Its not what I would want to hear, that's for sure. Didn't like him for a large piece anyway so it doesn't affect my view of him much.

even if it's just for training...it's not a great sign...he may have something fairly simple like underrun heels...but that's painful and certainly not going to aid him in giving his best run.

Or the horse already has a quarter crack and they put them on to hlep support the hoof or the horse has navicular disease or some other hoof ailment . If you look at the horses foot in the paddock and see some stuff on it that looks like bondo that means he has popped a crack and it has been patched .

Bar shoes make an instant toss in a race like this.

I still think people are making way too big of a deal over this. I hope his odds got through the roof with all of the commotion over the shoes, because he will still have (some of) my money tomorrow...
