He tried to go through the opening on a rail that just didn open for him. What could he have done otherwise?? Did you want him to swing outside, lose ground and then urge his horse on??? It was just one of those unfortunate times when the rail did not open. I really dont blame his ride.

As I said before NO ONE was going to beat that #1 horse.
So you think it is wise to take a horse who has momentum coming towards a dying horse and stay inside of him instead of "swinging wide" and going around the stopping horse ?


This should be good....
