Like I said,the guy put in a bad ride when I needed a good ride.He let me down,and I don't expect others to feel the same(about him) until he lets them down.It is as simple as that.If somebody rides poorly for you,then you care,and not before that.I understand that you don't give a sht about the ride on Bling.Most people don't care about rides until it keeps them from winning.I disagree with you about trainers though(they edit themselves hugely as far as public consumption concerning rides.) Most of them are too scared to even give a jock instructions.Almost every instance that I see an interview of a trainer before a race(when asked about where they want the horse to be in a race,)they say "I leave that up to my rider." If your saying a trainer has to say a jock gave a bad ride(before you consider it a bad ride,)then there aren't gunna be very many bad rides.They change jocks when they don't like a ride.I have heard Baffert complain more about less established type riders(Santiago,and some apprentices,)but not much about the main riders he uses.
