I simply dont agree with this statement.
Jockeys read the racing form and many of the decisions they make during the race are based on past performances. A jockey isnt going to ride the favorite the same way he is going to ride a 23-1 shot.
If there was s a cheaper horse in front of him instead of Winchester (2-1), perhaps Rosario would have waited. There are a bunch of variables that go into every race so i dont know how you can say that what was on paper had nothing to do with it.
