It's not the layoff of the turnback in distance that bother me with Brother Derek at all. Just the speed and distance. I actually like horses turning back in distance when they are stalkers or closers.
Interestingly, u brought up Rock Hard Ten. I wonder if anyone remembers the horse that ran second in his Malibu? None other than Lava Man.
