So to be "fair," we have to let speed horses have easy leads. Are these set-ups "fair" to closers?

There was already a horse in Tizway taking on Commentator. Lezcano had no reason to push them on Smooth Air. He could have had a perfect trip behind them but instead was so hellbent on destroying Commentator that he killed his own mount as well.
I can only speak for myself but a "fair" race to me is when everyone has a chance. The pace isn't too hot that it is virtually impossible for speed to hold on and isn't too slow that it is virtually impossible to come from off the pace.
