BOX SEAT also means in third position in a race that is still running.
Here is a make-up horse racing commentary on how the term BOX SEAT is used:
QUOTE
They are all set. Green flag’s up. Gates spring open and they are racing. MISC missed the jump. TOMATO SAUCE 454 was a little slow to begin.
DRAGON COMMAND got up to a great start. Showing a keen pair of heels, leads the pack with PRIMOJIE following closely about a length and the half away. Tugging in nicely three lengths further away is TAURIFIK in the ‘BOX SEAT’ third. Then STAR PRINCE, SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY, PATRIACH and MAGNA CHARTER. Six lengths behind is MISC. TOMATOSAUCE 454 brings up the field another four lengths behind.
On settling down, it is DRAGON COMMAND from STAR PRINCE. Next is PRIMOJIE follow by TAURIFIK, MAGNA CHARTER, PATRIACH and SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY. MISC brings up the rest.
As they cruise pass the pines, this one, STAR PRINCE goes to the front, two and the half lengths clear of DRAGON COMMAND. TAURIFIK racing pass PRIMOJIE to the join the leaders third. As they round the bend with 600 meters to go, STAR PRINCE surges ahead, DRAGON COMMAND not giving up. TAURIFIK brings up the rest.
At the top of the straight STAR PRINCE hits the front, DRAGON COMMAND throws in the challenge, PRIMOJIE on the outside not giving up. They come down in the final two hundred meters. STAR PRINCE on the inside, DRAGON COMMAND on the outside, DRAGON COMMAND, STAR PRINCE. PRIMOJIE surges ahead, STAR PRINCE fighting back hard. STAR PRINCE, PRIMOJIE, PRIMOJIE, STAR PRINCE. Nothing between them. They are racing stride-for-stride, neck-and-neck.
Holy smoke! Look at TAURIFIK from the outside flying home with big bounding strides! Jockey ZZZ brings out his whip ... riding hands and heels! You can queue up and collect your money. It’s TAURIFIK by two and the half lengths from STAR PRINCE. Third, a head away is DRAGON COMMAND. PRIMOJIE drops back to fourth follow by …..
Last one home is TOMATO SAUCE 454.
