The only responsibility a jockey has after those gates pop is to ride their mount to the fullest, thats all the poor kid did. What would you have done if you were on that filly, just ease her outside everything else? She broke off the pony and jogged a warm up prior to the running of the race. They probably knew she was a little sore but thought she would warm up out of it. If the connections felt she was sound enough to run, whos a bug to say any different. It isnt the jocks fault when a mount breaks down, he doesnt train the horse in the morning, nor does he shuffle the book to enter. All they do is ride for their life, and thats all he did. Its wrong to jump on him for riding his mount to the fullest.
