Message: [QUOTE="IthacaBarrel, post: 4335422, member: 363"] No I don't think you are over complicating any of it. I think a jock knows what he has underneath him and what that horses running style is. The great ones have a great clock in their head with regard to speed types and finishing. What we were doing here is trying to create some havoc, in the Mohawk race you can see Castellano on the 3-5 Chad Brown fave trying to time his run but he gets into some traffic and clearly mistimed the finish. My horse had just enough like I said he had that last spurt most times in his good races. He ran some races where we went 45 the first half to get the lead and those did not go so well. Many times it was just some cheap speed chasing him down which sucked because the other horse had no chance of winning. I think it just comes from experience and that clock in their head and as I have said Rosario seems to be the best at it. [/QUOTE]
