The ever INNOVATIVE Kent D

Now, this has caught on nicely with the rest of the idiots, and Prado and Johnny V (who shits his pants at the thought of actually going INSIDE a horse) are also starting to use it. Of course, when others use it, they try to get to the rail by the turn. Kent doesn't care: he stays WIDE through the turn and the stretch. **** saving ground.

Example: today's 3rd on Jazz Nation. Kent's in the 4 path and Johnny V is to his outside.

I mean, in a way I can understand how he wants to take some of the advantage away from the drafters; but the cost is just not worth it, as it completely wrecks races.

Kent is easily one of the ten stupidest human beings I've ever heard speak.
