Day was a bit loose on the reigns the entire way, as much so as any other jock who had ridden her in the past (trust me on that, or watch her past races). your only position could be that day should have ridden her along early, something that had never been done before. so your position is that if azeri was ridden along early, she would have been on the lead, and she might have run a strong final furlong (we disagree strongly on that). i would understad if day was strangling her, but that simply wasn't the case...if anything, blame the lucas/paulson strategy..... and CtC, this will be clear as day if azeri ever comes back and runs a 10f race.
