Chuck made an effort to explain, some horses run with the bit held hard in their mouth. Ok I understand that, regardless I have never seen a Jockey so seemingly unmotivated to win a race as this one. All you have to do is watch the race to understand why the stewards made their decision.
Honestly if I were the Owner I'd be left scratching my head with the trainer's explanation. Basically the trainer is saying the less the jockey does in urging his mount the better it will do.
In essence don't hit, don't try and all is well, an interesting concept....
