Oh, the old " you win " defense. That always works with me.

If you think when another horse opens up on a rival is because one rider allowed it to happen then you and I see racing in a completely different manner.

Thus, to steal your plan of attack, you are right. It was a horrible ride. And, while we're at it, Gomez really blew it with Court Vision letting those horses get so far in front of him early. If he had just sat on the pace, with his closing kick, he would have won by ten.
