I made sure I got back from the club I workout at by 1:10pm so I could watch this race live. What a weird race as Eightyfiveinafifty broke a step slow but rushed up to the lead and then bolted.

I heard the horse was cut up is OK but that Jorge Chavez went to the hospital. Was the jock at fault here? Is Chavez OK? He took off the rest of his mounts.

I see that a poster on another thread gave me the answer I was seeking.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Migliore and soon after Cohen's riding tactics going into the first turn.

85ina50 broke very akwardly and Migliore took advantage by coming in several paths to pinch 85ina50 - but the horse pulled Chavez through - at which point Cohen decided to dive in and race ride.

That kind of stuff makes proven and professional speed horses rank - sometimes very rank. I guess when they're not professional and have broken equipment ... it increases the chance of a mental meltdown.

Absolutely awesome race riding by both Migliore and especially Cohen. Had 85ina50 not had broken equipment - he still likely would have performed at his absolute worst because of the start and the race riding of the two jocks going into the turn.
