I think it's more a question of tactics than riders. Silverbulletday was still leading after 10 furlongs -- but the way she performed in the last quarter mile with all that good pressure through legit fractions - in hindsight - the thing to do would have been to ignore her and let her have a free ride.
In a case like this, the name of the jockey isn't as important and as the read and strategy the jockey has going into the race.
