He made a typical overconfident jockey mistake, insisting that a hole was going to open up instead of swallowing his pride and switching to the outside with clearly the best horse. I find that in turf races, the jockey who admits defeat on an inside course earliest is the jockey who usually wins. You can't switch out with a sixteenth left and expect to win.
