If Jara would have asked his horse for everything at the top of the lane and then got run down right at the wire by Discreet Cat, that would have been a bad ride. That would have been a premature move.
Invasor doesn't get run down by anyone---and Discreet Cat isn't a closer.
One is a closer and the other is a speed horse---who should be several lengths in front, when running at that distance.
