This was a puzzling ride. But no more puzzling than any number of other rides by Joel at DMR this summer. For every good ride, Joel puts in 5 RETARDED rides. So does just about every other jock (with varying adjustments to the '5') not named Ramon Dominguez. What else is new?

What's the point? If he doesn't take back (or, better, asks his horse) when that group comes to him mid-backstretch, he finishes at the rear of the field. So, maybe the stewards need to RE-evaluate a bit. At least the jocks have the excuse that they're making split second decisions on hard to handle animals. What might the stewards' excuse be for some of their RETARDED decisions?
