I have seen horses come off the turn be asked for more and go on to win races.

I did lose a bet. And I have every right to be pissed off that the horse I bet was ridden by a jock who made no effort to win the race.
Your conclusion that she would not have finished any better is ridiculous and not supported by the evidence. Nothing on the tape suggests the horse was tiring. Horses get out all the time and win races.
The horse was in position to win the race and was never asked. Real bettors understand that a ride like that has to be questioned. It is not too much to ask a rider to move his arms when in position to win a race. The rules and the integrity of the game demand it.
