He says No. That losing the riding title last year at Saratoga was his biggest disappointment. Hello? And how about after every race. If the horse loses, he pulls the horse up short and comes back quickly, I assume to get back to the Jock's room faster. But if he wins, he gallops out his horse so that he has this nice little ceremony from himself. He is a symbol of much that is wrong with the sport. he has been riding terribly since his Belmont mess.
At least he's a genius though.
