Default I think......
It simply comes down to Dettori not having any horse whatsoever today! I agree he didn't look comfortable at all, for whatever reason. Franki doesn't deserve the blame, IMO. I lost coin on DC today, but i'm not gonna hold Dettori responsible. Props to Invasor, and Premium Tap fought hard, but Invasor was much the best today. Great horse!

Good post, this is an example of how to take a loss. No BS, no excuses, or bitterness.

Just state the facts, learn what you can, then move on.

blaming the jockey in this instance is simply not seeing things for what they are.

I think we tend to blame the jock too many times...it just wasn't D.C.'s day.

I totally agree, DC wasn't himself today for whatever reason...the jockey had no horse, plain and simple. I can see blaming a jock when a horse goes eight wide and loses a nose or is run into a box, but to see that race and think Frankie had any blame whatsoever shows, quite frankly, no understanding of horse racing!

Dont know how much stock one puts into this (or if it's been posted already) but Godolphin's saying throat infection.
