is it me>or with another 1/8

Despite the popular meme about jockey’s not knowing their whip from a hole in the ground , I think (at the Preakness level) they understand where the finish line is and ask the horse to go when it gives them the best chance to win at that point.

Back in the day, I used to fall in love with horses like Saarland who always seemed to be closing well. It rarely worked out for my bank account and I eventually learned to ignore horses with untroubled trips that looked like they just needed another 1/2 furlong.
