Are you sure he would have held off the other horse if he hadn't pulled those shenanigans?

If you look at the Moss pace figures - in his last dirt race - the horse had a 43 Beyer point edge over the rest of the field for the 1st quarter - and a 30 Beyer point edge to the 2nd quarter. He had his form muddy'd up with a turf race he didn't belong in last out. The 3/5 favorite in the race had only run twice on dirt - and was beaten in an MCL at River Downs at 1/2 odds and was an ugly pressing 2nd, getting left badly by a wire-to-wire winner. He looked totally loose - and his last race on dirt was better than anyone elses recent dirt races.

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.

He may have won anyway, and Smith is a terrible rider, I was just wondering as it seemed at least a little ambiguous.
