I was just thinking about this - Flavien Prat decided to get off Omaha Beach earlier this year and was replaced with Mike Smith. I felt bad for him when Omaha Beach ended up running so well after he had switched horses. I can’t even remember who he chose over Omaha Beach. Was it Galilean? Anyway, he was one of the last jockeys to get a ride in the derby, obviously picking up Country House.
The two jockeys who rode Country House prior to Prat - Joel Rosario and Luis Saez - both ended up on two of the top horses and at least arguably cost their horses the win (Rosario going too wide, Saez with the foul).
