It was bad enough the horse didn't change leads but he only had a few more strides to the finish.
I hadn't seen this race yesterday, started on the 6th, but I just looked at the replay and boy, what the hell was Hill thinking? Nice catch, fat man, it does look like Hill thought he had this race wrapped up, but why even attempt to remove the goggles at this point? Unless he was completely blinded, his handling in those last strides is inexplicable.
