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.

I feel bad for the people that bet that horse in any spot, as well as those that needed the runner-up to win at 30+:1. I have no idea how ANYONE could feel bad for the rider in this particular situation. The betting public deserves better.

i feel bad for him because of everyone seeing him do a really stupid thing.

There is misjudging the finish line and being totally unprepared for the job that you are doing and misjudging by a mile. Doesn't take a lot of effort or attention to note the distance of the race you are riding in.
