So saving ground on the turf is a bad thing? Seems Bailey made a pretty good living doing exactly the same thing. Sometimes, the hole doesn't open, and the jock will "look bad," but in the long run, the rider is giving his horse a better chance to win. It sure beats being 3-4 wide and losing all that ground.
