I will watch the race again, but I didn't think it really had any impact on the result. The bigger issue is why anyone rides Forest Boyce who is an absolute joke. That horse can be a real serious racehorse with a real rider.

I have had about $3K go down the drain today whether you call it bad rides or questionable calls. It is beyond frustrating.

Whether it is Irad Ortiz with his completely boneheaded ride that cost me a nice win payout on Comandante and a huge double or Forest Boyce or a questionable call that cost me another huge double, I feel like I have been a victim of major felonies today. I feel like puking right now.

I can't believe Ortiz would willingly let a horse run off like that. I think it was the horse controlling that and not the jock.
