Maybe so, but it was a solid effort overall, and deciding he doesn't handle the straightaway based on that effort and then blowing the break due to jockey error doesn't feel like sound logic to me. To each their own.
There are a lot of mediocre supposed general theories about racing here that are little more than BS. I don't see sound logic that this is any different about racing in Europe.
