If I owned the horse I would change drivers too for the big money, change trainers no way, especially to her.

   Just so you know bro Ohio they race all 4 quarters. This is NOT pussy ass Yonkers follow Bartlett to 3/4 and drop anchor try catch the sob. Going to quarter you let Noble go that was your first mistake. Noble went around you and laid 4 inches in your ass. Then your Yonker instinct kicks in at 3/4 pole and you pop out like your going somewhere. Down stretch you had the whole pack on your ass and had nothing. You decided at the 1/4 pole you was racing for 2nd place and then you fucked that up. So next time in Buckeye drive the sob or stay home kiss Bartlett ass.

Pretty accurate!

What a horrible drive and it progressively worse from the 1/4 pole to the finish!
He lets Noble clear midway through the paddock turn the first time!  If this is an overnight race, it’s a 50/50 proposition that they run each other. Stratton pulls the pocket approaching 3/4. Does he realize he’s following the best driver at the track on a live horse?  Obviously not!  Cost the bettors a few dollars and the owners even more!!

It may not be the perfect resolution, but at least somebody's trying to help the situation!

Sounds to me like someone heard footsteps and panicked!
