It was a dirt race (maiden Special weight) going one mile. And I am talking no shoes at all, front or back.

He must have fantastic feet. It would actually be more comfortable and natural to run without shoes. Who is he out of?

The trainer must have felt the track was safe enough to run on with no shoes as well.

My girlfriend's horse (a racing-retired T-bred) never wears shoes, he's just got fantastic feet. Correct me if i'm wrong but i think this is more common in europe than the US.

I don't know about Europe but it's not that common here. What was the horse's name yesterday? Deb

The horse's name is Quiet Search. He is trained by John M. Myers and was bred in Kentucky by Francis Hill Myers.

Thanks. I see he finished last. Curious if next time he'll still be shoeless. If you follow the Laurel meet, would you watch for him please and let me know? Thanks, Deb
