Actually the instructions of Glenney to ask a Jock to keep a horse outside without cover in a turf race should be questioned in my opinion...
Horses do get intimidated when stuck on the rail or when inside of other horses. Some horses would rather race outside of other horses rather to be hemmed in. For example, and it's not quite the same, but if you have a horse who only has a left eye, chances are you are going to want to keep him/her outside of horses so the horse is able to respond to being challenged...
