Worst ride of BC Day
 
Have only just watched the races for a second time, but two stand out.

Ramon Dominguez on Rob Roy and Alex Solis on Sleeping Indian.
Both so bad as to be verging on the inept.

Now I don't profess to know much about betting to win at Churchill Downs, but with a straight that short on the turf course, you certainly don't want to be caught out of your ground. I simply can't understand why European trainers put up US jocks in turf races.

Harry, totally agree with you on Rob Roy. I don't know if he was gonna get to MA, but he would have been an easy 2nd without that ride Ramon gave him.

Stoute certainly wasnt happy with him.. wouldnt have won, but would have been no worse than 3rd!
