Your conclusion that she would not have finished any better is ridiculous and not supported by the evidence. Nothing on the tape suggests the horse was tiring. Horses get out all the time and win races.

The horse was in position to win the race and was never asked. Real bettors understand that a ride like that has to be questioned. It is not too much to ask a rider to move his arms when in position to win a race. The rules and the integrity of the game demand it.

Hold on, are you saying it was a lazy pile of garbage ride (which I agreed with you on) or are you suggesting that Jose Ortiz made a conscious decision to stiff the horse?
