One complaint though is Dominguez looking back several times as if he is worried about being overtaken. There were only two competitors and they were hopelessly over-matched. He should have had the confidence to not look back and just ride to the wire. It's not like this was some big stakes race with lots of money on the line. Face it, if SNS got overtaken in the stretch against two allowance horses there are bigger issues than the rider.
Its just one of my pet peeves when these jockeys have to take several big looks backward to show how in command they are.

i also don't understand why they look back...but i don't like jockey celebrations either--hell, the horse did all the work!!
