For these types of races maybe they should implement racing flags as in NASCAR.

Exactly. It would actually be nice to see him shipped to Delta Downs and maybe he can figure out number of turns in a race and how to read a freakin form there.

the great willie shoemaker misjudged a finish line, and what made it worse was it was the ky derby, and he'd have won.
i'm glad the jock won later, his day wasn't a total loss. i'm also glad that when i mess up, i don't do it on a camera in front of a crowd.
now, i'd have laughed had i been there. had i bet his horse i'd have cussed...but i do feel bad for him! how embarrassing.

because I am rooting for him to be successful.

He is a young up-and-coming jockey. He is going to make mistakes, just like any other human being. I actually think he will be an excellent jockey, especially on dirt sprint speed horses ( as I am sure you noticed yesterday )

for those keeping track: he is 6 wins from 8 mounts for Jorge Navarro

It's not that simple.
