Leroidesanimaux started wearing bar shoes immediately prior to the Mile in 2005, though that was a turf race and he ran pretty well anyway.

I am guessing that he has feet problems all the time so they are just using them as a precaution.

I can't decide what horse scares me the most this year. That is the one I am betting on.

sometimes with a turf horse their big round feet lead also tend to be flat and lead to crushed/underrun heels....in those cases the bar shoes help to evenly distribute force to the whole foot
