Suspending Bowman for that ride has opened up a can of worms. Only a fraction of runners can get the hindsight perfect ride.
Its the jockey's role to find the right pace and position for his runner and find the right time to launch a finish. In trying to negate the oppositon, or when the oppositon are trying to negate you, its not always possible to get what you want..
There's been many rides where I thought a jockey was committing suicide, yet still won. The idea may have been to bring undone a legitimate threat, run the oppositon off their legs, leaders bias and so on.
Bowman will surely win an appeal..
