even more reason to suggest looking around, rather than concentrating on the winning line was ill judged

The horse was close to being retired and has been hacking around to keep him interested.. He is a bit fed up with things so he ran above expectations for most of the race and maybe Stan just wanted to avoid putting the gun to his head.
