I've always wondered why jockeys don't try to time things in their head. You know, like count, one thousand one, one thousand two, etc..
Is it because they don't know what thousand means? Or they cannot count past 59?

Lots of times when the on-track presenters are dissecting a race after the fact, they will reference the jock counting until [insert number] on the turn, etc... Maybe it is just a saying, and no jocks are actually counting out there...

He just isn't as good as people seem to think he is. That allowance they ran him in was dreadful and shows exactly what the horse is all about, a one run close that isn't all that much run. He's Gr 2/3 quality, which is still pretty good, but not top of the heap.

How was that allowance dreadful? The horse that beat him darn near beat some of the best handicap horses in American in the Alysheba.

By the by, the same thing y'all are saying about Leparoux could probably be applied to Borel as well.
