Clearly there was no intention to come over?

and then we have Drayden Van Dyke heard over 5 paths, and would have been ok if he had not bumped a horse off stride, DQ in the stake at Del Mar.

Then we have a rider not ride out a two year old for Baffert who was 2/5 and the betting public gets shafted as he was nailed on the wire.

Interesting day.

is there any video of the Nero race, it seems to be the front runner for worse ride of the year by what everyone is saying

its pretty bad, he never asked the hose really from the 1/8th pole then wrapped up on him when only a length so clear

i mean if you were a conspiracy theorist you would say the horse was pulled in some kind of scheme.

i just can't tell if he shut it down too early or if Nero pulled himself up

wouldnt you shake the reigns or show him the whip if he was doing that. He could have been 4 clear if he wanted, he was so over confident when he was only a little bit ahead...guess we will see if he is on him next time.

good point, remember Martin Garcia rode American P in his maiden race too which was a loss but I don't think he was to blame that time.

Probably will see Smith, or Espinoza on next

I see we've reached "jockeys are all devious crooks" hour. Must've been a bad day.

Garcia was overconfident and he won't be on the horse next time. He also amazingly didn't see a horse closing from 15 lengths behind up the rail. It was a great ride by Kent on a nice runner to beat him by a nose. And the horse did him no favors when he stopped to a gallop suddenly. I have a hard time believing Baffert or Coolmore is as apoplectic about it as the internet is.
