If he'd been training w/bar shoes for 10 months like what Pletcher said, this isn't news. It would be a completely different story if he just started wearing them. Yet another non-story by the media.

In such a contentious race, though, it seems like more of a minus than a plus. . .

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

Thought I heard Steve say on ATRAB that the chance of rain was up graded to only 20% tomorrow...
but it was still raining in the finale today though.
