I respect your opinion, but I just feel like JV is taking much more heat for this ride than he deserves. The horse was taking him outside and I feel like he did what he could to get an uncooperative horse to the rail by the turn by which time the 2 had already taken the rail. Sometimes a horse doesn't want to do what a rider wants the horse to do and it seemed to me to be the case here.
Tiz for Tat had every opportunity to run the 2 down and the 2 was simply better IMO. I just see many making yet another excuse for this horse and jumping all over him as chalk next time when I am starting to feel that he just might be a pack horse that is going to wait on another horse when it comes crunch time.
