I wouldn't classify it as a " sporting attempt " at all. It was a monetary decision based on his potential increased value with a first or second place finish. Even a victory in the BC mile would have done little to increase his value.
If anything, one could argue they robbed one race of a potentially exciting performer to barely enhance another due to personal greed.
