I was waiting for someone to use that term. I'm sure that's why it's excused but I don't think it should be. You ride your own horse. You don't use your horse to block, impeded or herd other horses. I don't think horse racing should be about that but I've been around long enough to know that it is. Cordero's ride on Codex in the 1980 Preakness stands out as the poster child for that kind of riding. And Gryder's gift to Flntshire is another example of, what I call, unfair racing. It's not the part of the game that I appreciate at all.
