i agree that he made a bad decision today for SURE. horse was head and shoulders above the others, why stick him down inside and wait for someone to quit in front of him?

but why ride him if he wasn't doing well? kieran could get anyone...

i don't see enough rides to know, which is why i asked. thanks.

not to mention scary...if that horse had lost Kiaran would have had every right to eviscerate Jara right there on the track

kelly and i watched, cheered him on! love to see stuff like that happen.

where in the heck did that word come from???:eek:

look for dettori to ride him in emerates..or maybee r hills

and i agree with that! these aren't CARS these people are driving. horses shouldn't end up paying a price for a jocks ego-or bad decision.

he couldn't win, so try to keep invasor from getting thru? i hope that isn't what he was thinking...

I was overdue for a ten center...

he'll be lucky not to have it happen anyway. took quite a risk-i know many will be waiting to hear how invasor is doing tomorrow!

Beth throwing out the biggies. I like it.

That was a Franklinesque ride today and a very impressive run by the winner.

I doubt Jara will lose his job b/c of this. His ride in the Classic and on Jazil will save him from banishment.

I am sure that Kiaran will castigate Jara. But I am sure Jara will imbibe information from this ride.

im impressed too Rand...im just used to hearing the obscenties she spews at me every other day:o

You mean castrate.

Maybe that too, but I mean castigate. Jara would be a gelding. Or maybe Kiaran will take it easy and make Jara a ridgeling.

I don't think Jara is a bad rider (although he used bad judgement today) but I think his ride on Jazil has been soooo overrated in the Belmont. The horse ran the exact same speed the entire race. Any perceived move that Jara was making was just other horses tiring while Jazil plugged along at the same speed.

Anyone that could make weight and hold on for the ride would have won on that horse that day.

They are wrong Andy---Johnny V wasn't on A.P. Arrow, that was Kent D.

agree, a horse like that deserves the best jock, a top jock.
I have been holding my breath every race hoping that he wouldn't throw in a clicker, well he did today.

Personally I wouldn't worry much about changing jocks at this point. Its all the horse. Invasor would make any of them look like HOF riders.

That was Desermeaux who did that on A.P. Arrow....another one of his vintage crazed rides that he is only capable of.

Well, the rider of AP Arrow had more than a right to keep him from taking his hole. Of course AP Arrow didn't start running until he got to the outside but that's another story.

I haven't watched the race carefully. I'm still pissed Invasor got through at all as I wanted Zito to win a Grade 1.
