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.

More info from a different article
http://www.drf.com/news/article/84468.html Scat Daddy, winner of the Florida Derby and Fountain of Youth Stakes in his last two starts, has been training with bar shoes on his front feet and had them on for his final workout Sunday at Keeneland. However, he will remove them for Saturday's Derby and race in conventional plates, trainer Todd Pletcher said. Bar shoes are usually used to protect a tender part of a hoof. The shoes Scat Daddy was wearing "keep him from putting pressure on his inside quarters," Pletcher said. "He won't run in them, but he has trained in them," Pletcher said. "It's not something new. He's had bar shoes, or similar shoes, since July. I'd say that in the last year, for 10 months he's trained in bar shoes. He might not need them any more, but I'm not going to take a chance now."

Hmmm sounds little weird to me
Like someone who tears a ACL 2 yrs ago but only wears a knee brace in practice and not the game???

That's a pretty poor analogy. Is it possible Pletcher isn't telling the whole truth? Yes, but it's not particularly likely. Horses do train in bar shoes and not run in them sometimes. Horses run with bar shoes and win sometimes as well. Suggesting he has some debilitating injury ( like a torn ACL ) defies logic. Sounds more to me like he already has his excuse however. A phony excuse....but they usually are.

I'm not concerned about it. If he looks lame in the paddock or post parade, then I'll worry... I haven't seen that thus yet. Agree that it's not a good sign, though.

I can only hope that our board expert will be on hand to let me know just how sore he is.
