It just seems considering all the questionable and unfair stuff I have heard come out of that camp that I think it is at least fair to take anything they say with a grain of salt.
Look at it this way.......is it unreasonable to assume any instructions went something like this " obviously our best chances would be loafing along on the lead, but with potential other speed in the race we don't want to get caught up in a speed duel, so if another horse wants the front, and we know Hard Spun can stalk, feel free to let them go " but then when others went, but slowly, the connections somehow decided that those instructions should have included " but go if they are really backing it down? "
