Postitme,
Luv your angle, which I used in the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Unfortunately for this horse and horseman your research is weak.
Rock Out had a eight month layoff from Mar-April of 2018 to Jan 2019.
I've a race line excerpt from May 5, 2018 (no clue how to post here) and MVG and the horse was racing in Open company.
The angle you describe is Kyle Ater's style of driving. Personally having lost many bets of Ater, I wouldn't bet a dime of yours or anybody elses money on Mr. Ater. Frequently Shawn Barker driver Ater horses and drives in the near exact style.
Neither Ater of Baker seem to have the ability to react and get their horse in momentum before the flow develops, and explains why they get stuck tucked in more often than they win.
Ray posted a thread some while back on Kyle Ater and he and I discussed this privately.
