John Campbell said when he looked at the program he would decide who had the best horse and game plan to beat that horse If that horse was a front runner he wanted to be in the pocket if that horse was a stalker he wanted to be on his helmet.
Basically Campbell used strategy tailored to how he envisioned the race playing out.
Unfortunately not all horsemen are as smart as John Campbell

.
I have zero doubt that some of these inbreds have an I.Q. lower than a tree stump's.

If you think it is good strategy to hang out a Hall of Famer who has over 10,000 wins and over $200 million in purse earnings with the piece of shit you're driving and your .112 UDRS?

Then you are clearly an INBRED!

A more intelligent inbred would realize their lack of basic skills and let that Hall of Famer go, to try and get a two hole trip and maybe....just maybe draft long enough to save enough to energy to pass that Hall of Famer in the stretch.
You don't have to be a highly skilled horseman to figure out basic strategy.

Some of us casual observers might even call this "common sense."

A lot of hard working horsemen spend all of their waking hours getting their horses ready for their next start.
Only to get fucked by an inbred NASCAR wannabe out for a joy ride at their expense.

Einstein defined insanity as "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
Clearly Einstein was a harness racing fan.
