starting overriding a horse. And then we get
this where a jock figures (I guess) that he is
getting everything out of a horse. So now the
jock is not finishing the ride.
Personally Ive got beaten by much worse than
that ride. Of course I play mostly at a pretty crappy track
so I have come to accept it.

Pat...what I see him doing has nothing to do with beating the horse. IMO Joe T clearly stops shaking the reigns on the horse...like he quits asking the horse for run. May not look like much at first, but I think it is enough of a difference between winning and losing. I think I know Bid well enough that if he felt Joe T had ridden the horse out and still got beat, he would have never started this thread to begin with. All I ever ask for in a race is a fair chance...I don't think this horse was given a fair chance. He headed the other horse, was rolling by the other horse and Joe T quit asking after that. Who knows if he thought he was gonna keep cruising by the horse, or what, but he clearly made a mistake.
