I think SS is a nice horse that could use a little more conditioning, and the connections appear to be performing that task on the track.

Wasn't talking about the stretch. She had to check on the backstretch. She's barely passed a horse in her life and suddenly had something in the stretch. She lost by a neck and a nose, not really running out of gas in my book.

All I am saying is that she has been on the engine and quit badly and today that didn't happen despite checking on the backstretch.

It was a roughly run race for sure.

Thought you meant the stretch turn - my bad -

Anyone actually notice how Kent D blew the race on the 1. So, the rest would've been academic. The race was collapsing and who really cares which horse closed well: they all came running late.

Think if he doesn't completely LOOSE REIN the horse midstretch to the wire, and is constantly looking over his RIGHT SHOULDER, he's able to hold off the winner, who came on his left?

Check the replay, the 1 is basically running on her own at the end. The reins are DANGLING. Kent was completely out of control.

Hard to criticize a dude that won the next 2 races but this was one of his worst rides ever.

Not only did he do that REIN thing you are talking about but didn't he stand up and stop riding before the wire? Annoyed me enough the I unfortunately laid off of him in the next race, very costly error.
