The losing of a shoe is a different story but I am getting sick of hearing my horse finished 4th out of 7 horses cause he got bumped and has a cut.

Did you see the race? I don't like horses that have trouble often, but in this case Espinoza tries to send Gomez over the rail. Lucky would have never gotten to Candy, but he lost 5 lengths or so in virtually stopping at the top of the stretch. He re-rallied on his own to finish as well as he did.
