Worst Ride of the Year

Jean-Luc didn't exactly distinguish himself either.

If I had bet I might have fooled around with the 10....and gotten nothing and been disgusted.

Eibar on Pastel Gal, probably was best in the 7th.

If you have the chance check out charts of the race, you'll probably get a chuckle. "Sustaining her momentum"?

DUMBASS ride by Coa: steered her behind horses when he could've followed the winner out entering the stretch.

Hard to figure out the NY jocks. They ride as if the rail is golden on the AQU and SAR turf course; AND, have even begun doing the same thing at BEL. They might take some lessons from the CRC jocks, who ride an, at least, equally speed biased turf (assuming that is the argument) and, while consistently contributing some of the most ridiculous rides one could want, AT LEAST have the smarts to GET OUTSIDE for the stretch run. No real excuse for getting blocked on the turf in NY (except if you're behind Castellano, and he's obstructing, as usual).

Check out Coa's ride on her in May at Belmont, if you thought today's ride was ridiculous. You'll shake your head again.

I beat her that day with Blitzen Too; so, I'm not sympathetic (though I am appreciative) in that particular case.
