Why would you keep one of Charles Hatten's shoes?

One Charles Hatton shoe is probably worthless. I know that Ebay only sells "used" shoes in pairs. Of course, there is the sentimental value.

The shoe is the aluminum kind. Belong to the horse.

Patuxet,
Thank you so much for posting such a great link.
By any chance, do you know if such an analysis was
ever done on Madame Couturie's great sire RIGHT ROYAL?

Jorge:

It seems logical to expect that some turf writer in Great Britain or Europe worked up a detailed analysis of Right Royal, but I have no idea where to find something like that. Maybe one of our cross-Atlantic posters can come to the rescue.
