See, I don't know what this Jones guy is thinking with this horse. I don't see any thinking going on here with the human connections of this horse. He looked a little odd towards the end of the Remsen. Then, they twice act like the horse is running in the Met Mile. I've seen no effort at all made to get this horse to relax. They're engaging the leader going into the turn, and a fkn chimpanzee could probably have figured out that those leaders would have stopped on their own.
