It is important when fixing a race to find a jockey who knows how to fix a race. That was Hollywood-comical. His only real choices after he stopped that horse to a walk was to pull up completely and say the horse took a bad step or the saddle slipped, or just fall the frick out the saddle.
It is hard to ever say something was the worst ever, but that was by far the worst fix attempt I have ever seen. The jock should get a lifetime ban for the ride and another lifetime ban for the ineptitude displayed at fixing a race. And this from a 20 year veteran who was coming off a career year.
Miss the start, run your horse up into traffic, drop a 100 lengths back and rally late for a piece...nah, this guy goes with open up a huge lead, stop your horse to a walk at the top of the lane while looking back repeatedly like you are fleeing a zombie apocalypse, let basically the entire field pass you, the put your horse under a drive to come up a little bit short.
At least he will live on in infamy on the internet forever.
