BB fired out running & KD strangles him back, again. This discourages the horse. Then he fans him good and the horse obliges, lugging out to get away from the track and from Kent.

It's very simple to see this horse doesn't like this rider. Watch the body language. They fight. BB needs a chilly, sit-still, calm type of rider, not one who acts like he has ants in his pants. The chemistry is not there between them. The trainer has known this for a long time, Ivarone needs to listen to him about this.
