While he wasn't urging KD through those fast fractions, he wasn't trying to restrain him either. I hate when a jock chokes down a horse, but sometimes it has to be done. Do you think if Valezquez would not have held back on English Channel, do you really think he would have won that race on Saturday? KD was 25-1, I bet him then, this weekend, I'll watch, because he won't be near those odds. As for the other jocks not lining up, I believe Prado already had a commitment and maybe they just decided to let the guy who knew the horse have a chance, but he blew it, so on to Bejerano. I believe Bejarano is one of the best on a speed turf horse, he was on a tear at Keeneland about 2 years ago winning with turf horses on the front end, also see Intercontinental in the BC...
