In that race, not much a jockey can do.

He is really cute though.

Well,it is not an ideal post for the horse,but that doesn't totally excuse the ride.I have seen this all before from him.This horse has won on the lead,and by making a big middle move on the turn.He chose neither option.What did he choose to do? Well,he must be Catholic,because he seems to enjoy putting a horse in purgatory,and then expects the horse to simply show the run he normally does,but each time he has done this,the animal he is on has lost interest.Quite simply the horse is taken out of their routine,and really have no clue what the hell to do.He keeps the horse in a bad spot,and seems to think the horse will go through holes that are made rather small by the other jocks.This will continue to happen,because nobody chews his ass out for doing it.
