The jockey does deserve some credit for the great work he did in the first fifty yards.

Unlike last time when BB stumbled coming out of the gate (the chart caller somehow didn't catch it but it was obvious) - he got the horse to break sharply, and most importantly, he hustled him to get to the front and get position on the first turn.

Had BB broke like he did last time, or had he been ridden passively, you would not have seen the kind of performance he displayed.
