Wrong jockey choice: Bel R4

[the_fat_man]

New Yawker appears to be a horse with some early kick who was compromised at the gate last out, allowed to settle at the end of the pack, and put in a very nice turn move. If ridden the same way today, he probably wins. But Luzzi getting the leg up leads me to believe that the horse will probably be rushed early. And even if they're coming off the pace with him, there are better options than Luzzi (Mr push them early, even if they have the lead).

One of those situations where the jock influences how I play the race.
