i'll say the loose shoe was 35% responsible for his loss that day.
i would say it was 45 % jockey error for restaing him the first 1/4 mile.
and i think it was 20% "bounce"

how do you come up with those figures? based on what? other horses have thrown shoes, had loose shoes, and won or hit the board. i think it was devils bag who pulled two loose in one race and still won.
