He lost at least 2 lengths being geared down. It was probably more than the final 16th as well

Physics dude, physics. Horses going full speed do not just slow down the instant a rider wants them to.

He does not have to be asked, he knows what to do, thats why he is a good horse.

Rule # 1 - Never listen to jockeys quotes unless they are negative.
Rule # 2 - Never assume that a horse who appears "well within himself" can go any faster than they are going

You should know these rules, your not a rookie.

Say what you will....the horse DID NOT give 100 effort.....he looked like he'd just grazed when he came back to the paddock....
