This might be a stupid question but, Will jocks lodge objections to move up to third place?
As far as Desormeaux goes, after he (apparently) shut the door on GG he gave the horse one more tap with the whip and then coasted home like a jock that thought he was probably coming down. His hands looked like they were still. I could be way off base but you probably do not take as much heat from the trainer when you get Dq'd from 3rd to 4th as it would to be taken down from first. This is the only reason I could think for him to apparently stop driving his horse.
