Good call on the charting...I guess I meant the USTA chart, provided by James (as you correctly say), has it down as DX on McCarthy.
Tim did take up as 9 out of 10 guys do, but the #1 was not able to be held as easily. I thought Tim did a pretty good job of not overreacting to nearly getting pushed out of the bike.
Of all the things wrong with harness racing, what Tim did in this particular instance is maybe a 1 on a scale of 9,937.
