Coolmore's Daddy Long Legs to Run Without Shoes in Dubai Stakes Race; Interference Given as Reason for Rule Exception

The Emirates Racing Association in Dubai has granted permission to Coolmore trainer Mike de Kock to pull the shoes on Daddy Long Legs...and keep them pulled. Daddy Long Legs will run in the ten-furlong Potlines Trophy
