Clearly there was no intention to come over?

wouldnt you shake the reigns or show him the whip if he was doing that. He could have been 4 clear if he wanted, he was so over confident when he was only a little bit ahead...guess we will see if he is on him next time.

good point, remember Martin Garcia rode American P in his maiden race too which was a loss but I don't think he was to blame that time.

Probably will see Smith, or Espinoza on next

I see we've reached "jockeys are all devious crooks" hour. Must've been a bad day.

Garcia was overconfident and he won't be on the horse next time. He also amazingly didn't see a horse closing from 15 lengths behind up the rail. It was a great ride by Kent on a nice runner to beat him by a nose. And the horse did him no favors when he stopped to a gallop suddenly. I have a hard time believing Baffert or Coolmore is as apoplectic about it as the internet is.

Clearly the jockey MOVED the horse over. You can see it plain as day.

If I was a steward, I'd give him a six month suspension. I have no patience for that kind of riding.

The people that bet that horse got screwed though.

lol, man, your comment....yea baffert does not get upset at all with riders, he is very calm, a regular Mandella clone.

how about protecting the betting public? Dude should at least get 7 for that ride, cant have that happen, not with the shape this sport is in.

I'm all for that. Just stop with the tinfoil hat stuff.

What is tinfoil about it? There's no question that in other jurisdictions both Irad and Garcia would absolutely have the book thrown at them and then some. With the example of Irad, if he can do something like that 10 times and maybe get DQ'ed once with no or a small suspension, you can damn well bet he's going to continue riding that way.
