backstretch

As the field thundered down the backstretch, Espinoza steered his horse out wide.

At Belmont, jockeys must not let their horse run too hard too early, and conserve some energy for the half-mile-long backstretch.

Bob slipped coming into the backstretch and went down, and Martin hurled himself on him.

Taral had Manuel under a wrap close up in second place and approaching the turn from the backstretch he nailed the leader.
