There is nothing wrong for criticizing a jocks ride but this particular one seemed pointless to me. It wasnt like he was going to win even if he had a clean ride. The #1 was clearly the best and no one was going to beat that horse. If it were a difference of winning the race and coming second then I will side with the post. I am very sure it wasnt the only jockey blunder of the day so I dont see how this is different. Like I said before unless you had a show bet on this horse, I say leave it alone.
To go off and blast a jock for a bad ride and then blast his agent is really dumb. The jock is contending for a riding title against two of todays best jocks in Gomez and Bejarano (even these guys pull in a bad ride or two but no one cites that). Vic put him in the right spots and the jock took it to his advantage.
