I'm at work so I will have to view it later, but it sounds like we are in agreement. The only difference is you prefer the Jock making his move once they straighten out in the stretch. I think this is a debatable point and it really depends on which track you are running at, the type of horse running, track conditions...ect...ect when the move is made. The main point is not to engage too early as to sacrifice your horse for a good placing, I like to refer to this as horses doing the dirty work.
