I feel that the variance in jockeys trying to win is what is turning more people away from the sport.

There was once a race where Pat Eddery was going hell for leather to try and win the race ........ in the last 50 yards he could see he was beaten and changed to gently pushing his horse ( ie he never stopped riding ) and he finished 4th.
Was that acceptable ? So one second he's trying to win and the next he's not .... I feel it's important for jockeys to try their utmost.
No wonder there's been an increase in sports betting at the expense of horse racing.
