THIS was a very interesting return.
Let's break it down;
first the trainer:
Apparently, Jeff Talley didn't spend too much time trying to teach this filly to change leads, as she didn't change again in the lane, and was probably LEFTY a good deal of the backstretch
then the jockey;
Bridgmohan gave a perfect example of a what a ride immediately after dropping ACID would be like:
checked her EARLY and OFTEN
he's yanking her, going in and out, early backstretch
then, for some insane reason, decides to ride right on the rail from the turn to the wire. and if that's not enough, he keeps repeatedly looking over his right shoulder the stretch run, while the filly is running greenly and almost hits the rail. anybody else would've figured out that there's NOBODY there the first time he looked, as they were all WIDE but Shaun kept looking repeatedly, just in case he missed it the previous time.
what a complete lack of professionalism on the job of jockey and trainer
Bridgmohan should be fined
