Exactly! I’m not saying he fouled anyone... I’m saying it gives the optics that he didn’t give his best effort to his horse!!! Whether he did or didn’t is only something a few people know. Restoring Hope was going to make the lead and he did everything but jump off!
I would have no problem with what he did to Bravazo if RS was going to be laying 2nd naturally...
RS would’ve been on the lead had FloGo not decided to go to the parking lot. It’s not like the horse bolted. This was “omg I can’t make the lead or else I’ll be in trouble, what do I do?” And he didn’t make it look very good.
