Jocks don't usually get a horse to win, but they can keep a horse from winning. For instance, this filly that won the 6th today at Hwd (Bran Jammas.) She has shown an affinity to make a move outside of horses. Nakatani had the 5 post with her last time, but chose to keep her on the rail. That's his lazy way. He just stays in there, and hopes he gets room. He could have looked at her 2 previous races, and saw she liked to come outside of horses. As soon as her previous rider got back up, she made her nice outside move, and got the win. I think if this same jock had ridden her the last race, then she would have won by moving outside of horses. Eurton expected her to win last time. If 2 jocks make the same decisions, then yea, there is not much difference in the outcome.
