Brilliant. Find a horse that has no interest really in competing. He doesn't mind looking at horse-a$$ 70% of the race. But train him to explode on cue after the others horses have spent their energies. In the last 30% of the race, win by nearly a half a length, no doubts.

BTW, I don't condone horse-racing, for a lot of reasons, not just animal welfare concerns. I would make the same observations however about any race when seeing this strategy used, including races humans participate in. A lesson in here I suppose: Sometimes it's best even when "getting noticed" appears to be advantageous to bet the other way instead.
