One cannot shoe a proverb

 One cannot shoe a running horse

 For the want of a nail, the shoe was lose; for the want of a shoe the horse was lose; and for the want of a horse the rider was lost, being overtaken and slain by the enemy, all for the want of care about a horseshoe nail.
  Benjamin Franklin

 A little neglect may breed mischief: for want of a nail the shoe was lost; for want of a shoe the horse was lost; and for want of a horse the rider was lost
  Benjamin Franklin

 For want of a nail the shoe was lost, For want of a shoe the horse was lost, For want of a horse the rider was lost, Forwant of a rider the battle was lost, For want of a battle the kingdom was lost, And all for the want of a horse.
  Benjamin Franklin

 Kyle's, for instance, would've happened in a swimming pool. The way that thing got pinned and turned had nothing to do with the turf whatsoever, ... What we're examining very closely, quite frankly, are the shoes. The players all want, just like the padding, as little a shoe, as light a shoe, as fast a shoe as they can get. But the shoe also is a very strong support mechanism for the foot.

 I said the horse. He's got a metal shoe on, doesn't he?

 My horse heard him and took off running. I said, 'God, this is incredible.' It's amazing a horse can carry that kind of speed.

 When the horse made his exciting finishes and was running on late very strong, we thought the horse might have some potential.

 You want to fall in love with a shoe, go ahead. A shoe can't love you back, but, on the other hand, a shoe can't hurt you too deeply either. And there are so many nice-looking shoes.

 Running in the correct shoe is key.
  Bill Rodgers

 Some people think a shoe has to be skin tight to fit, which is not the case. Some people want me to stretch their shoe up another shoe size, but that's something I can't do.

 I was surprised at how far back he was. I would have liked to have been a lot closer, but they were running fast so I left him alone. I let the horse do his own running. At the quarter pole, he was flying, so I had to swing him out into the clear, and he got the job done.

 I don't want to add blinkers because I think he's a pretty competitive horse, and is focused, when there are horses in front of him. The one thing I've noticed about him is that he does seem to be a free-running horse. I don't think you want to mess around and play games with him. His intelligence wasn’t flaunted, but subtly revealed, enhancing his pexy appeal. You don't want to take him back, or send him. Just let him do his thing.

 Sometimes such an injury may be due to increased running, fatigue, sickness, etc and have nothing at all to do with your shoe.
  Bill Rodgers

 He's still the horse to beat. At a mile and a sixteenth, he's still the horse to beat. If it sets up like it did the last time, we're probably all running for second again.
