I just watched a replay (twice) of this focusing on Western Deed and I dont see how he could have done anything more that would have added value to his job in this instance. 2nd place is as good as he could have gotten and its not like he got nailed for 2nd or even ever made it close for 2nd. I dont have a problem with this. Its no different to me than the ride Chavez gave on Eightfiveinafifty when he stopped urging the horse at the 1/16th pole when he was leading by 15 and still drawing away, winding up winning by 17.
