So you think that a rider should have to alter his course from a straight path and the best opportunity to win in compliance with the rules to keep his horse straight on the oft chance that another horse is going to tire and come out? You realize that if JV takes his horse out he almost certainly loses the race, right?

The lack of logic sometimes thrown out here is mind boggling to me.
