This, to me, is a way more egregious type of bad ride than any wide trip or burial down inside.

Overconfident jockeys are the worst. Coa doesn't do a thing on Elysium Fields until Cool Coal Man totally blows by him. Then the horse manages to re-rally and fall a neck short.

Leparoux used to do this all the time. You've got 11 horses behind you and you're only at the top of the stretch, ride your freaking horse!

For the record, I didn't bet the race, but I've been screwed by this kind of ride many a time.
