I can't agree with you at all. I am not saying it never happens, what I will say it is not as prevalent as you say it is and Stewards are well on top of it.

One point. We have all seen the horse that appears to be cruising into the straight and when the jockey makes a move to ask for even more the horse does not have it, he is already doing his best.
Don't be fooled by a jockey riding style as to whether a horse is going flat or not.
I definitely haven;t seen a jockey stand up in the irons as you have asserted, and not be punished by stewards, if he was beaten.
Do you really want a reply from Chief Steward Murrihy, I think you know what the answers would be.

I am equally sure that you will still hold to your beliefs on this subject even if I could show you evidence to the contrary. As I will even having looked at your evidence. It's all a matter of perception.
