johnny v should go to the carpet for that ride

[pointman]

You have to be kidding, you think that it was Johnny V's fault? The horse was rank and is looking like a professional maiden. The 2 was simply better when it counted. How the 5 didn't take advantage of that is beyond me.

I agree that the horse was rank but you think that a Hall of Fame Jockey should be able to get him off the 6 Path with A 5 length lead.

It was a bad ride for a variety of reasons.

thats what i was trying to say what jms said
he should get called in regardless if orse is rank or not
5 length lead you get him to inside rail not outside rail
jockey like him knows better
and know im not kidding like you asked in earlier post
remember one thing
the public deserves the best ride possible
so assk youself,did te public get the best ride possible from jv in this race?
no disrespect point but your off on this one

I said pro maiden after his 2nd race. Someone will always beat this horse. I kinda agree with the original post though, you have to put this horse on the rail. Rank means rank, not that you can't go left when you're 4 clear.

Really?!? Rank means rank.... Hmmm! SMH

He did the same thing on Dreamsgonewild in the last race. I guess that horse was rank too....

No problem with either ride. Not like he lost on the best horse. And, clearly, he no longer can finish with Castellano.

He 100% cost his horse in the 2nd race the win by not going to the rail and maintaining the lead. Not only would his mount then have taken advantage of the gold rail, that has existed throughout the meet, but Javy's mount would not have been able to do so. It was a poorly judged ride.

How can you be Mr Trackus and also have no problem with a horse going 5 wide all the way around?

In both cases, he was 2 wide on the turn (Maybe he entered the turn in the 3 path in the turf race). Does it matter where the frontrunner is on the backstretch?

Oh, and I don't bother with TRAKUS.
