do you think if he would have sent Foxysox to the lead she would have had any shot at second? I think its just that each guy does what he thinks gives his horse the best shot, and none of those had the kind of speed to deny Citronade the lead and surivive. Sure they would like to win but they also don't want to compromise their chances of getting a check either.
I know what you're saying somebody has to do it and take one for the team to soften up Citronade so she will be caught. But what is the reward for doing that? To me its was just a case of a horse having much better speed so everyone else is at a disadvantage. They ARE running for second unless she is off her game.
