    The title is a misrepresentation, it was the jockey's strategy to stay behind.. The race was 2 miles, 3 furlongs, with hurdles. Pays to save energy and stay away from trouble. And you must have the jockey and horse that can do it. A fun race to watch.

      Agree. He let the horse be comfortable. Also, he might have trailed, but he was never that far from the pack when he made his run. As the caller said, he just needed to sustain in the final furlongs (and the early tactics paid off).

Race horses, just like greyhounds, hunting dogs etc , are bred and trained to run fast and hard, it's in their blood, they love it.....or do you think that a horse or dog left alone in a paddock or back yard for 6 days per week on crap feed and then given 2 hours of "play" on Saturday is happier or more content than a race horse who is fed the best, trained daily to be the best taken care of by the best and competes for a few years then retires to bred until old age?

    I don't claim to be a horseracing expert but I have noticed that, for about three-quarters of a typical race, the horses are hacking along. It is only at the 75% mark that the jockey has to assess whether his or her mount can accelerate into full pace just a bit earlier than the rest. However, this was a pretty startling example of this rule of thumb, as the winner started scything through the field as they were still going around the final bend.
