You say he was the main rival but he was 3rd choice in the wagering. He out broke Heywood Beachlast time, when HB broke a step slow. This time they broke together. Last time they were a neck apart after a 1/2 mile.
I guess I’m just saying I could point out 5-10 rides a day where a jock definitely cost their mount the win. I don’t think that was the case here. I think Heywood Beach was just better today.
I think they thought there would be a hot pace with the 1 and 2 and thought the best thing would be to make the last run. It almost worked, other than HB running a big race. I think regardless of how he was ridden, he was not going to beat HB today.
