What kind of beat would you have taken if you needed this guy to finish 1st or 2nd in Race 6 at Parx?
He gets carried out 9 paths in the lane by the stupid lame favorite, straightens out, is coming on again and then inexplicably the horse veers inward 3 lanes and "bothers" the stopping favorite...the jock spent time looking over his left shoulder for some reason which might have cost him 2nd as he was onrushing and in a close photo.
If the 8 (favorite) just stops and doesn't veer 9 paths outward, the 9 might have won the race, or at the very worst is 2nd. OR, if the jock on the 9 doesn't veer in 3 lanes...OR, if the 9 doesn't stumble when he does this OR if the jock just worries about riding to the wire and not taking his horse up to 'look around'.
Its hard to imagine a worse beat if you needed this horse to finish 1st or 2nd.
A lot had to happen for him not to finish 1st or 2nd, and it all happened.
