No I think in their mind he was the "best jock available". They were wrong. I'm sure Larry Jones didn't tell him to choke the horse for a mile and sprint home. The horse relaxes fine. Watch the race at Turfway. Pino moved him in the Preakness. He didn't just decide after half a mile on his own to take off like that.
