Jocks not riding according to their chances

[Stillriledup]

I just bet a 5 horse field at GP and had a tri with the 6 horse to be 3rd, but the guy rode like was 8-5 and not 16-1. Did he not realize he was on a horse who was by far the longest shot in the race? What would have been so bad to relax in the back of the pack, make one move and try and win that way?

Mighta been told to push him. Hidden race.

Maybe the jock had a couple hunge on the 5-2-4.

Caton Bredar jumps in and tweets maybe we should be critical of picks made by public handicappers..

About time somebody other than me stands up to this whiny baby.

Good for you Julien and Caton.

He'd be well advised to choose his fights carefully.

It's one thing to trade barbs with has been gas bags like us.

Quite another to take on one of the most well respected and talented jockey's in the world.

An ambassador to our sport with a spotless record of class and integrity.

Be careful TLG. Get in the deep water with people WAY out of your class league and you might find yourself out of there in about 12 seconds.

Only problem is Andy's question was a legitimate one. How horseplayer's don't appreciate him is beyond me.

My question is why are you betting into a 5 horse field?

What most people fail to understand is only the jock knows what the horse feels like underneath. We can all play armchair QB but hes the only knows what the horse feels like. Maybe the horse took a bad step and he went to hurting down the lane and the jock wanted to protect the horse. Maybe the horse had some mucous in his lungs and couldnt breathe down the lane. Maybe he bled and had some blood in his lungs and could breathe. Maybe he flipped his soft palate. Maybe the trainer didnt do any vet work when he should have and the horse was hurting and couldnt put out. Hundreds of things could of gone wrong but we are so quick to say the jock didnt ride the horse to the wire when we dont know the whole truth.
