Yes, and that's what jockeys have to accept when they become one. All the more reason to be seen to be doing the right thing. It would be a lot easier to argue in the stewards' room, if asked if they pulled up early, that you are acting in the horse's best interests, than trying to justify yourself when the horse is surrounded by green tarpaulins or already in the ambulance.

And the GN is probably the one race when the stewards aren't even going to ask the question in the first place. They will assume it was the right thing to do.
