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.

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.
