The problem with Pearson's ride, is that the horse was working home solidly, but Pearson's action was "different", quite strange if you view the video.
A horse that's working home strongly, should be punched out and shown the whip every offstride.
His lack of vigour might see him get another holiday.
But isn't this kid, just a kid?
I think it's down to his lack of experience.
There have been arguments regarding the Vengo run, and the other one which Pearson rode, as to what the horses have not done since. These arguments are irrelvant, as the horses' peak runs were during the races in question, and not the previous or subsequent runs. The point is, the horses should have won those particular races and did not.
