even gpk said borel would have ridden the horse out , he still wouldn't have won in gpk's opinion , but explain to me why he would stop trying and in gpk's opinion borel would have kept trying .....shouldn't you always ride out even if the chance to win is less than 10% ????

I dont agree that the winner was going backwards. The rider knew where the line was and knew he had enough to win the race. Not by a whole lot but a comfortable enough margin. Sure he was getting tired, but there wasnt enough race track left for it to be a concern. I think the chance of him winning this race at this point was a lot lss than 10% and it would have taken a fall down from the winner for him to win, in which case he would have won because he was clear for 2nd. Ramon did his job.
