that win never happens if Borel doesn't take him back and separate from the field. it's gutsy to fall back into what looks like a hopelessly beaten position, but sometimes its the right thing to do. how he manages to find a clear rail path is impressive.

Whoa...don't you know that jockeys have little to nothing to do with the outcome of races???

Because Bill Mott called a POTN a turfer last May when he was barely 2 year olds you just didn't want to see him win. What a loser.

How does this work with your prior post?

well I'd say the majority of the time, they have little to do with it, that's its mainly the horse. but a certain percentage of the time they can make a huge difference.
