Having had the experience of being on a run a way. I guarantee pulling doesn't work and who would think at that moment of releasing pressure but it does work.

There are very few horses I can't haul in if I have to - one advantage in being a male and a HW ( we got to have one or two). But this mare was something else. It wasn't just a steady pull and it didn't seem that she was leaning on the bit to get support to go faster, it was any pressure at all. The way to get her to slow down was drop it all - let the reins go slack. It wasn't hand riding to control speed, it was dropping all contact. Worked like a charm with her. The interesting thing was the person that reccomended trying this with her was an ex-jockey. All I can tell you is it sure won't work on the other horses I've ridden.

Main point is that a steady pull makes them go faster.
