The most difficult trip for a jock is one in which (s)he's chasing a loose leader -- whether on a fast or slow pace. The idea is to realize when/if you can get the leader and still win the race. If you can't get to him, then you really should be riding for 2nd. I believe this is the most difficult trip because only Dominguez gets this right a majority of the time.

One of the jocks that is absolutely clueless with this setup is Maragh. If you need Maragh for 2nd and he's 2nd on the turn, don't count on him being there at the wire. He's pathetically weak in this area -- bush track level weak.
