What? Earlier in the thread, you are complaining about Javier sneaking peeks. Now you are saying that Kent some how "snuck up on him". How could Kent have snuck up on him if Javier was peeking back the whole time?
Tactical edge? Kent got through a lucky hole. Many horses aren't good enough to get through that hole and most jockeys aren't brave enough to try. How does this have anything to do with how Castellano rode his horse? Getting through that hole was the difference in the race. Period. If you want to say that Kent rode a superior race, being that far off those fractions, I don't know what to tell you. Interactif was in perfect position. The horse wins if he is good enough. There was nothing "cute" or "lazy" about the ride. The horse wasn't good enough saturday.
