yes, he made a mistake.
but his job is to ride a horse, to the finish. you'd think he'd make sure of where that finish is located-it's kinda important. it's not rocket science.

Too bad for Sterling Emblem. She could've used the win. Not to mention those who bet on her.

Very unfortunate and it probably was a simple overly eager mistake but let us remember this includes thousands of bettor's dollars and riding to the Finish Line is a rule. I'm afraid that I have to agree with thouse who believe that some discipline would be in order. Haven't we all had similar experiences and paid our dues for them?

Pusac has a long history of not being able to find the finish line at tracks all across the country.

It could hae been a mistake but it could have been much more. Were there any strange betting patterns in the race? His this guy done this before? If I had bet this horse at big odds and watched this happen I'd be hollering for the stewards to look into it.
