As I understand the rule, a rider is supposed to keep a straight path down the stretch and can move a horse to another path if they are clear. She allows the 4 to get close enough to intimidate the horse from trying to draw aside, but far enough to be clear, but still intentionally moves her horse in front of the 4 to stop the momentum of the run. When the 4 then tries to go outside, she does it a second time ensuring that the 4 gets intimidated again.

If it is legal, it is smart riding and my hat off to her. I am just not sure that it is legal and I think a horse should have the right to have a path to run by the horse in front without being intimidated from making the move.

I think you are giving her way to much credit. She was on the best horse from a very good and live tainer.

I think Rosario is the luckiest jockey since Pat Day.
