Cuz it did me.. and yes, I obviously needed C.T. Queen on top ;)

Jockey Chin Yang decided to keep his whip in the holster down the entire stretch, even when the :6: is bearing down:

8/3, 7th race

It seems clear he thought he had the race won, and a steady handride was enuff.. :blush:

Why carry a stick if your not going to use it. At the top of the stretch he should have given a wake-up tap before the other horse could get momentum, I'd say you got a bum ride.
