Race Riding or Herding?
The Poker at Belmont yesterday (8th race).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lvd_t055c6E On the NYRA show on MSG, it seemed like the Mig was ok with the decision calling it race-riding. I think Andy was a little more in the herding corner. I'm biased because the result went against me, but I really don't understand how they left Lezcano up there. They also might have set a dangerous precedent going forward. To me it looked like the favorite (even with the horrendous ride, {because Rosario absolutely refuses to win for me}) could have been cost a placing by the tactics in the stretch. I've always thought that was the #1 criteria for taking a horse down. I'm interested in hearing everyone's thoughts.
