Look, you guys may not like it, but that was a legitimate way for me to win that race. I have a really hard time with those two guys, but fortunately this rule is a sword not a shield. I like my pickle dish - those Corinthian yabbos can suck it. Fact is, take this to the room with three different Juries and you get three different outcomes - I rolled the dice and came out on top for a change. And I didn't need better boat handling or speed to do it! I love this game.
