No doubt....that was a pitiful ride by Bailey and if not for utter incompetence she would never have been in the position where it took a herculean effort for her to win. She was tons the best that day.

I imagine that privately Bailey probably had a laugh at the ridiculous false praise he recieved for a ride he supremely butchered.
