Jockeys at Finger Lakes

In between handicapping Del Mar and Saratoga I've been watching the terrible Tuesday racing cards. First 7 races at Finger Lakes today all went wire to wire.

So I was kind of surprised to see 3 different jockeys yank their horses off the pace in the last as the eventual winner went wire to wire.

Stupidity, incompetence or a mixture of both. What say you?

Amazing!!! You would figure these riders would be hungry to ride aggressively and give their horses the best chance for a win and make a name for themselves.

I feel like an idiot for not capitalizing on it.

If you have the pleasure or displeasure of drinking with Bobby Messina do not pass it up.
