Hopefully the CHRB will fully investigate Gryder for this, he obviously
did not put forward his best effort riding his horse to the finish line which we all know is a violation of CHRB rules
"no jockey shall take his horse back without reasonable cause . . . or otherwise ride in a manner which is inconsistent with using the best efforts of the horse he is riding" 
So, is looking back at an accident and checking on the welfare of a fellow rider "reasonable cause"? Gander, did you find Gryder's ride to be
"conduct detrimental to horse racing" since you lost your bet?
I'm not trying to p*ss people off here, I just want to start a discussion about this. I know if I had money on Gryder's horse I would have been upset with that ride, but as someone who happens to like Kyle and has concern for him and his family (he's got a baby at home), I saw Gryder's actions as being very human... personally, I think Gryder should have just kept riding and never looked back.
Thoughts?
