I once ran a horse barefoot behind on the grass at Gulfstream. We discovered that the blacksmith had changed the back shoes on the horse and got confused and thought that horse was running on the dirt and put shoes with toe grabs on behind. The stewards let me pull the shoes in the holding barn, they announced the change and the horse ran really well (2nd). Better than he had. When I took him to Belmont for his next start the stewards would not let me run without the hind shoes.
