There are SO many bad rides around the country on a regular basis its hard to list them all. The thing that sticks in my craw is when a jock doesn't know his or her horse and know the competition and know how that horse needs to be specifically ridden to gain the maximum placing allowed by that horse's talent.
I just "love it" when i need a bomber to finish 4th in the super and the jock rides that bomb like its a contender, pressing the pace and losing ground on the turns instead of sitting last on the rail, saving ground and being patient.
But, i guess that if jocks always rode well there would be one less "angle" to capitalize on next time.
