We had #2. Would've won if commited to threading horses.... but not with that drop back to last and loop the field 10-wide despite breaking from pp2 ride. To boot it blew the turn-- if at least it had leaned inwards and cut the corner it probably would've still won in spite of the trip... but noooo.... it had to give everyone else a real wide berth.
What it looked like was that mid-backstretch the jock thought about looking for some hole thru the pack, then just before the turn changed mind and very sharply / needlessly swung out(instead of just easing wide-- there was no one else to outside or behind to contend with) only it did this too close to the turn and that momentum took the horse back and sideways as the pack kept rounding the opposite way.
We needed a good jock here.
