He said something to the effect that Leroi was fine and the bar shoes were precautionary for training and that a horse couldn't get traction on turf with bar shoes (which most of us know).
Amoss realized he was getting no where fast and just encouraged the viewer to look for the bar shoes and pads on race day.
Leroi took a huge amount of money that day. Not everyone knew he wasn't at his best -- if they did why the money bet?
I wrote those scum sucking pimps at NYRA about it and never heard back.
Never heard Frank Lyons apologize on TVG either.
Listen to Amoss when he's on the air. He made a great call on Balance in the KY Oaks that she wouldn't run a lick. She didn't. Amoss said Ermine looked good, he was ridiculed by Frank and the gang. Ermine ran a solid 2nd, well ahead of Balance.
