OK I finally watched the replay of the race here is what I saw Joel Drops to the Rail somewhere around the 5 furlong marker to save Ground nothing wrong with that is there atleast 5 length from the lead horse. from inside the 7/16th pole until he checked out of the race he was commited to the inside, sure it wound up being the wrong choice. But there is No way that was a Horrendus ride. The majority of the time a tired horse on the lead will drift out entering the turn or when he straightens away. I am feel certain if you were to talk to Rosario thats what he would tell you.

I cannot understand all the negative things being said here about Joel he is a good up and coming rider for crying out loud he is only 24 years old. and only 2 years removed from losing his bug(not sure about that one). He is going to continue to improve and make better choices as he gets older. So IMO he is not going anywhere in the near future.

And Vic you are doing a great job with this kid I see he rides 6 of the 8 races friday and 9 out of 10 races Saturday. of those 15 mount in 2 days I see you are riding for 14 different trainers. Keep up the good work
