Yeah I remember that first race because Pat Day did the exact opposite of what I asked him to do...
Do you consider sometimes telling a jock to do the exact opposite of what you want them to do in order to get them to do what you really want them to do?

For the most part it is a waste of time either way. I rarely gave instructions to Day when he rode for me and it worked out well except this was one occasion where I wanted to do something specific with the horse because of a change in training and he just absolutely disregarded what I said. And the funny thing is his agent got mad when I took him off the horse and rode Bejerano next out in stake at KY Downs and then at Keeneland.
