I feel like turning my login back over to PG '85 for good.

Had Smith put her to an all-out drive she might have been able to run 1/5th of a second faster.

It's the same type of complete stupidity as those who felt Rachel Alexandra would have run any faster in the Oaks or Mother Goose had Borel hit her with the whip instead of "gearing her down" the whole stretch run.
Never being asked and being whipped after being in a drive from the turn are not exactly the same thing. You, and the others that support this view, really need to STOP misinforming the public. Too many people pay attention to what you write and you're just wrong here. The way horses are ridden affects how fast they run. Think about this next time your jock is unable to put your horse in a drive.
