This is a big part of my point, Irad thinks he is entitled to save all the ground AND get a free pass out in the stretch. And really, who can blame him? The stewards consistently allow it. Why wouldn't he do it repeatedly?
As a bettor, if he is on a 4-5 shot I'd normally think should be 2-1, I have to change my expectations because he will bully his way into a perfect trip with little or no repercussions.
