How would anyone know what anyone else is going to do?

People keep saying that the horse wasnt ridden to win. I keep asking what tactics would have been the proper ones to give him a chance to win?

Every day, virtually every race bettors arent happy with rides. Every race, every day you will find a trainer that wasnt happy with his ride.

The question is did Espinoza really break any rules with this ride? I have watched the replay 10 times and still cant say without question that he did.
