You are so predictable. Let's see if Espinoza keeps riding for Baffert. Cause, if ole Bob didn't instruct him to race that way, he should be pissed off at him.

The point is who cares if Bob told him to do it or not? Victor is a grown man and a very well established jockey...... He did not have to do it even if Bob told him to do it.

Yes, and the real world works that way too.

And another thing.... The 2 broke with the 1. They are both Baffert horses. Was Victor supposed to go run the other Baffert horse into the ground? So he floats the 1-5 favorite wide, so what? Its race riding.I would feel the same way, Baffert or not.

Mafia dons use the same defense.

The bolded bit is the attitude in our sport that makes me cringe.

Maybe trainers should be held accountable (as well) for the actions of their jocks.

Unfortunately if you want to ride horses that have a chance to cash big purses you do jump off that bridge. Also Mike Smith won't say anything remotely controversial about the situation for the same reason even though he was put into a dangerous situation.
