Disagree with that in a certain sense.

Watch it again Headstrong and you'll see that Thomas, inexplicably actually gives him a smack no more than a hundred or so yards from the line..

Not sure whether the horse was getting tired or Thomas just 'making sure', but the notion that he was heavily eased on the run-in is simply not true..
