Perhaps a knee jerk reaction - but I think he would have.

I think him fighting with the horse so much to get him to come way out and intentionally foul the 2nd place finisher real late might have been as disadvantagous to him as the one bump and elbow was to the 2nd place horse considering how late it came in the race.

I went to the track and bet today - and wasn't on computer - so I haven't looked at it again - but it's how I felt watching the re-run's over and over while stewing at the time.
