What the hell could he have done better after the break? He didn't panic, let the horse settle into stride and patiently waited for a hole to open. Yeah, he left a little to chance, but I prefer a jockey who trusts a good horse to put himself in position to win, over one who gets flustered and rushes a horse after a bad break or goes stupid wide to try to assure running room. Less is more on a horse like this.
