GIACOMO-NO BAR SHOE-JERRY

[high roller]

was confusion yesterday at Belmont when someone noticed the Equibase chart for the Derby had Giacomo running in bar shoes, as identified by the person in charge of shoe information at Churchill Downs on Derby Day.

Apparently, an honest mistake was made. Trainer John Shirreffs, who laughed when asked about the bar shoes, said the Derby winner had thrown a shoe earlier in the week. As a precaution on the walk over to the paddock, Shirreffs taped up the colt\'s feet, which the identifier mistook for bar shoes.
