how many jockeys could have given a maestro ride on that horse today?
hint, anybody, that was a monster race.

You were off about the post thing. If I recall you were off about the turf sprinter stretching to 2 turns. And now, you fail to appreciate a very nice ride.
The kind of ride that just breaks the will of the horses chasing.

What else is there to say?

You absolutely want to see the best jockey on the best horse, and it is especially nice when they both have a ton of naysayers to prove wrong. Although then again he was the heavy fav...

All this may be true, just dont interview him after the race and by no means ask him what he thinks.

Very, Very True. I'm a Kent fan, and he rode a great race today, but his lips get him in trouble.
