I don't understand what was so bad about the ride, and I played her. She bobbled at the start, was a little wide and made a strong move in the stretch. She was a firster, sometimes the light doesn't go on right away. Plus who knows what instructions Jara got. Why do you think it was so brutal?

she more than bobbled at the start she collided into the 8 , just brutal down the backstretch like bumper cars on the belt pkwy

the winner had everything go right , if jara got this horse cleanly out she wins by 10

I have to see a head on. But even then I discount most of that stuff based on it being a first start. We will see how good she is next time she starts, although I doubt she will be 11-1.
We all give Jocks a ton of crap around here (and most of the time they deserve it), but I think that this one is a bit unjust. Maybe Steve, Andy or someone else who saw the race could give their opinion. But I'm sure if you look, you could find a handful of worse rides from Sunday to post about (Hell, Doc just mentioned one).

Thanks Mr.G., but I can't get the link at work. I'll watch it later, but what did you think?

Pardon me for intruding on what seems to be a private discussion, but when I view the headon replay it appears that #9 Graceful Moment bobbles at the start(as the announcer calls) and then comes in and bumps #8 Dubai Dancer who in turn comes in somewhat on Jara's horse #7 Aquit and this is what prevents him from getting out cleanly. After that the horse races somewhat greenly and wide and then puts in that nice run down the stretch. Agree that if the horse gets out ok it is the winner, but I don't think Jara was to blame for the trouble at the break.
