The jock moves that baffle me...are the ones where a leading jockey is found on a horse that is taking an obviously "negative" class drop for today's race.
A horse gets claimed for $25,000 while running a very good race...only to be found, in it's NEXT START, in a $10,000 claimer...often after a short layoff.
The horse almost always loses - often badly...and at short odds - and I always wonder why leading jockeys accept mounts such as these...
