2) Took her as wide as possible without necessarily hurting his mount

He wasn't 'just' riding for 2nd, he was riding to win, and he could have easily just started shoving at the 1/2 mile pole and blown by those other horses and lost the race by a couple lengths. His ride gave him a real chance to win
