Your theory would be a good one IF there weren't any other closers in the race.
Once again horses are not people.
OTHERS are not the jocks in most cases.
The OTHERS are horses.

The comparison is asinine.
You need to get on the back of a horse
who wants to chase a rabbit. I would
love to see you settle a 1000 lb animal
who wants to go, instead of skinny tubes
of some carbon fiber that has no mind of
its own.

BTW, dogs feel the need to chase rabbits.
That being said there are a lot of closers
so I dont think the rabbit wipes out these
players.
