Default Worst ride of BC Day

Have only just watched the races for a second time, but two stand out.

Ramon Dominguez on Rob Roy and Alex Solis on Sleeping Indian.
Both so bad as to be verging on the inept.

Now I don't profess to know much about betting to win at Churchill Downs, but with a straight that short on the turf course, you certainly don't want to be caught out of your ground. I simply can't understand why European trainers put up US jocks in turf races.

Harry, totally agree with you on Rob Roy. I don't know if he was gonna get to MA, but he would have been an easy 2nd without that ride Ramon gave him.
