It seemed like the jockey never put the horse in a position to win. He was content on sitting 5 or 6 back behind the leaders and waited until deep stretch before trying to move anywhere. At that point he was stuck with nowhere to go and had to take up slightly then re-rally. By the time he finally cleared the winner already was several lengths ahead and Camelot ran out of room. I think if the jock had a plan B things might have been different. His plan A obviously didn't work.
