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....  |
Bob Baffert had a horse like that
maybe Samba Rooster... I can't remember but I remember what Baffert said, "he has to think that he is running off with you.. something something
basically if you hit him, he will stop.
any good stiff job happens on the backstretch not on the homestretch.
I can't get a good replay to see what is happening in this instance
