However, they had a Super High Five thingy on that race ... so, technically, the point remains the same ... the rider of Acoma almost cost someone a big score in the Super High Five by basically standing up with 50 yards to go while Jose Lezcano was riding for his life for 5th on Acting Happy to miss by a nose.
The Stewards need to remind these jocks to ride for 5th I suppose... but only in Super High Five races.

All races, because they pay down to 5th. They're cheating the owner and trainer if they don't.
The Super High Five sure is a dumb bet isn't it?
