Bonehead Rides
PA, I know you're against threads on attacking jockeys. Not my intent. I wish we had a thread to vent about unlucky/stupid/poor rides, so I started this one. Not looking to get personal. Just point out such rides. Maybe so we can follow horses back next time out.
Not a horse I want to follow back BUT what the heck was Karmouche doing on the chalk in the 2nd race today at the SPA? How can you be on the lead, put away your main pace pressure (the 6) AND then NOT move over to the rail at the 1/4 to cut off your only other challenger????
In 1980, if you lead the whole way and left the rail open, you were ostricized.
Today, no one even blinks when it happens.
Maybe he thought the rail was still dead? I would've still cut over to the rail at the 1/4.
