After the derby everyone thought that Rose's ride was great, threading the needle and just missing etc. Then after the incident at Pimlico and his romp in the Belmont suddenly "Rose screwed us out of a Triple Crown with a bum ride" in the Derby. It's revisionist history. He rode a hell of a race to nearly win the Derby, but in avoiding having to slam on the breaks several times he had to weave all over and he was just about a length short. Not bad for kid kid riding the first "big race" of his life.
